Hello, Cortes Island Gardeners and Artists

Although we have recently experienced winter weather, the Museum is already planning our annual Creative Spaces Garden & Studio Tour. This important fundraising event for the Museum is also a beautiful way to share our passion for art and gardens with our local community and visitors.

We are grateful to everyone who has participated in the past and hope you will join us again this year. The date we have chosen is Saturday, June 20, 2026. We hope to capture gardens in full swing before the heat sets in and before people get too busy with family, friends, and summer activities.

If you are interested in participating by sharing your garden or studio, please get in touch. If you know an artist who might benefit from sharing their studio on the tour, please share our contact information with them. Those on our Creative Spaces email list have already received this message – no need to contact us again if you have already confirmed your participation for 2026. If you are new to the island or to Creative Spaces, please contact us at cimascortesmuseum.com or by phone at 250-935-6340.

If you, or someone you know, would like to support us by organizing or hosting this event, please let us know.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Much appreciation,

Gina & Suzanne
