On behalf of Capital Arts Festival 2008, we cordially invite you to join us in an autumn celebration of Canadian arts, culture and heritage throughout southern Vancouver Island.
Presented by Heaven-on-Earth Marketing and Image Management Company and in conjunction with a broad range of support from the business community, Capital Arts Festival 2008 (CAF 2008) is administered and produced exclusively as a business organized initiative. Through sponsorships, private arts funding and business equity, our festival is produced without government funding and without non-profit/charitable involvement at the operational level.
With the accomplishment of two successful CAF seasons, this year's event spans the months of October and November and includes member participation from the Capital Regional District (CRD) and the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD).
CAF 2008 is proud to present a truly unique, cultural experience that unifies practicing professional artists, strengthens the professional arts community and benefits local businesses, our citizens and visitors throughout the CRD and the CVRD.
Take in Capital Arts Festival 2008! Support Canadian arts, culture, and heritage; support our sponsors and local businesses, as well as the many practicing professional artists who live and work in southern Vancouver Island. Finally and most importantly, we thank the public for their generous support and appreciation of our event.
It's yours to discover!

Exclusive to practicing professional artists who live and work in southern Vancouver Island, CAF 2008 is a showcase of regional professional events - produced by our member participants - in dance, music, literary, performing and visual arts. Member participants are responsible for their own program development and venue procurement, and all members keep 100% of their ticket proceeds and/or sales revenues.
Practicing professional artists have attained a high level of development and achievement in their chosen fields of endeavour, and are recognized for their professionalism and accomplishments within their communities, by their peers and through their affiliations with professional member groups, societies, associations and numerous independent arts businesses.
