New NAC Website

We are currently reconstructing sections of the website, including the ability to log in and renew memberships online, which will go live soon. Any pages labelled “Under Construction” are unavailable. We thank you for your patience.  

Be sure to join us for the Nanaimo Artwalk, taking place on November 22 (10 am to 4 pm) and 23 (12 pm to 4 pm) at downtown and Old City Quarter venues.
