Arts & Culture

Travelling beyond the city boundaries doesn't mean you have to leave a vibrant arts scene behind.

Beaver County - home to an eclectic mix of live theatre, music, dance, visual arts and crafts - proves that even rural centres can wear their art on their sleeves.

A visit to any one of the local farmers' markets will connect you to an impressive array of artists and crafters.

Find willow furniture, jewellery, scrapbooking supplies, hand sewn quilts and more!
