Arts & Culture

Despite its modest population and rural setting, Kitimat maintains a vibrant and diverse arts & culture scene. Imaginative residents, modern infrastructure, pristine wilderness, and a strong regional presence of the Haisla First Nation together provide an ideal environment for artistic and cultural endeavors.

For information on local First Nations art & culture, please visit the official Haisla community website. The site contains an online art gallery, artist biographies, an overview of the Haisla language, multimedia downloads, and more.
