Salvaged

Art from the Ocean for the Ocean

 We are proud to support Salvaged, a unique art project that showcases the creativity of local artists transforming marine debris into stunning works of art. This initiative, in partnership with community organizations and businesses in Ucluelet and Tofino, brings attention to the importance of protecting our oceans while celebrating the incredible talent of our local artists.

The artworks are displayed across eight participating venues in Ucluelet and Tofino, offering the community a chance to explore, admire, and be inspired. Each piece tells a story of resilience, transformation, and hope for our oceans.
