Media & Brand Guidelines
The Nicola Valley Community Arts Council has grown. And with that growth, we've worked to create a consistent brand identity so that members, the community, visitors, and media contacts know exactly what we are about. Here is a start for how we identify ourselves as a governing body and as a facility.
