Made on Mayne Tours
Twice a year Mayne's artists, artisans, crafters, growers, and makers welcome visitors at their studios, galleries , roadside stands, and community venues to see their work and do a little shopping. Tour maps are published so visitors can wind their way around the island and enjoy Mayne's bounty of creativity. Made on Mayne Tours happen in the Spring and Fall on the Easter and Remembrance Day weekends.
Next Tour: April 7-8, 2023. More details to come soon!


BC Ferries Floating Galleries
Work by members of the Mayne Island branch is on display in the Floating Gallery display case on board the Queen of Cumberland (Southern Gulf Islands - Swartz Bay route) and the Salish Eagle (Southern Gulf Islands - Tsawwassen route). Next time you're travelling, take time to see what artists on Mayne and the other Southern Gulf Islands have been creating. Artists can participate in these displays by joining the Southern Gulf Islands Arts Council.
