    • Brought to you by Alter Arts Society, in collaboration with HQ Collective.

      Celebrate community and the arts.

      We're all in this together.

    • What You Get

      Funds raised through ticket sales will directly benefit artists, who have been especially hard hit by COVID-19.

      Curated Local Art Walking Tour

      An exclusive audio walking tour, featuring local historian Vincent Gornall, of Vincent’s Victoria.

      An Exclusive Art Map

      A map of over 100 new and existing art installations on display at homes and businesses throughout the neighbourhood, including interactive and community art that you can contribute to!

      An Opportunity to Support Artists

      The artists who enliven our communities need our support now, more than ever! We have relied on them to get us through long days of self-isolation. Purchasing a ticket to the Out There Art Festival is a safe, physically-distanced way to give back.

      A Shared Experience to Remember

      Experience the wonderful, quirky eccentricity of Quadra Village again for the first time. Let us introduce you and the other members of your household to temporary installations, and permanent displays that you've never noticed before, in a delightful shared experience.

      Pop-up Performances

      Weekend performances brought to you by talented performers from Theatre SKAM, Pacific Opera Victoria, and The Rising Circus will be popping up in the neighbourhood during the festival.

      Join us!
    • Tickets

      Pay what you can. $10 per person or $40 per family recommended. Check out all of the art in one day, or take your time and visit a part of the neighbourhood each time. There is so much to explore! All proceeds from ticket sales will be distributed to participating artists. The more ticket sales we make, the more funds we will be able to give back to our artists during these difficult times, so please help spread the word by RSVPing and sharing our Facebook event. Links to our interactive map, the recorded audio walking tour, and an overview of upcoming pop-up performances are included in the confirmation email that you receive immediately upon purchasing your ticket(s). Specific performance locations and times will be sent out by email throughout the festival, to prevent crowds.

    This temporally and physically distanced art festival will take place on the stolen territories of the Lekwungen people, now known as the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations.

     

    As uninvited visitors to these territories, we respectfully seek opportunities to learn about Indigenous relationships with these lands. We are committed to questioning existing power structures, and supporting the decolonization of our society and institutions and Indigenous self-determination however we can.
