Oak Bay has a rich heritage of supporting arts in our community. Many art-related community events are held throughout the year, and many community organizations contribute to the arts through education, performance, display, creation, or sponsorship. Oak Bay Parks, Recreation & Culture has many arts and cultural events and programs throughout the year.

The District of Oak Bay also contributes to the CRD Arts Development Service, which provides funding to arts organizations on behalf of eight municipalities in the capital region. The Arts Service manages Landmarks, a searchable website dedicated to the presentation of public art in the region.
