The Comox Valley Airport is pleased to welcome back Comox Valley Arts for the winter season, featuring new works by local artists based on the theme of Mindful Travel, opening December 1st, 2022."Mindful Travel showcases artworks in a variety of media from artists across the region. The show considers and celebrates the landscape, but also questions and forewarns.

Said Jennifer Casey Executive Director of CV Arts.
"We live in one of the most beautiful regions of the world but are reminded of its fragility and our responsibility for stewardship", said Comox Valley Airport's CEO, Mike Atkins. "Global tourism has great economic benefits but comes with the duty to manage it responsibly and sustainably. The team at CV Arts has done a wonderful job in curating this collection, echoing sentiments attributed to Chief Seattle over one hundred years ago - Take nothing but memories, leave only footprints, through modern artist's eyes."
The exhibit runs until mid-April. For those unable to attend in person, the works may be Viewed Here. Most works are available for sale by contacting CV Arts or via the artist directly.
