Welcome

Welcome to the Prince Edward Island Council of the Arts.

The Prince Edward Island Council of the Arts (PEICA) has provided vital support to the arts on Prince Edward Island since 1974. Dedicated to ensuring that all Prince Edward Islanders enjoy the benefits of a healthy arts community, the PEICA works to foster the development of the arts through advocacy, education, programs and services.

Our mission is to make the arts integral to the lives of all Islanders. We envision Prince Edward Island as alive with the arts, with each community flourishing in celebration of its creativity, its identity and its heritage. We see our Creative Isle as an attractive place to live and raise families, an ideal setting in which to build an artistic practice and career, and a world-class cultural destination. We believe that these possibilities can become reality through the arts.
