TCAC

The TCAC is delighted to share that on July 20, 2026, TCAC Board Member Mike Miller was recognized by the Township of Esquimalt with the Volunteer Spirit Award, presented here by Mayor Barb Desjardins. Mike received this well-deserved honor in recognition of his many years of community service with various organizations, and especially his tireless work organizing TCACs Memorial Park Music Fest.

Congratulations Mike! We are incredibly proud of you and so grateful for everything you do for our community.

TCAC is happy to present our Gallery Splash! exhibit for the summer, Holly Bygrove's Creative Collaboration: Macaulay Elementary from July 7 to September 1. This show features Holly's work alongside work done by Ecole Macaulay Elementary kids K-5! Please bring the kids in your life by to admire the beautiful art; art is for everyone! 🍉🌭🌈🌞🎨

Holly Bygrove is a multimedia artist based in James Bay. She grew up in a small rural town in Ontario, and moved to Toronto once she was an adult. Holly completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at OCAD University before moving to Victoria in 2023. Holly enjoys creating digital works (animation) and those that blend multiple media. Her artistic focus tends to be things of the natural world; her cats, friends and nature. Although Holly currently works as an Education Assistant in Esquimalt, she enjoys drawing and creating artwork on the weekends or during her free time.
