Salt Spring Islands is located just off the coast of Vancouver Island in the Strait of Georgia. You'll find more artists, artisans, craftspeople and musicians on this small island than any one area has a right to. Perhaps the progressive thinking and endless debates that are charecteristic of the island, are the reason they attract so many artists. Of course the laid back lifestyle along with the rugged natural beauty and exceptional weather may also have something to do with it.

You'll find somewhere in the neighbourhood of 35 studios, with artists engaged in a wide variety of expression, all open to the public. The local tourism office has a brochure with descriptions of the artists and their work as well as a map and an outline of their hours they keep. You can pick-up a brochure from thier offices at Salt Spring Tourism .
