Existing home could become site of a hotel and residential tower.
With the broad goal of trying to establish Victoria as a welcoming home for artists and an affordable place for them to ply their trade, Victoria council has directed staff to consider options to secure a long-term community arts hub.
Coun. Jeremy Caradonna said the grant buys the hub a couple of years while the city works with the non-profit Vancouver Island Visual Arts Society to find a solution. Coun. Matt Dell said the private sector is not going to fund something like this so it falls to the city. Dell said there are buildings around downtown owned by government and the private sector that could be candidates for such a hub.
