ARTS AND CULTURE |
Canada's Best Little Arts Town
With its dramatic lake and mountain setting, arts college, and well-preserved 19th century architecture, the city of Nelson, well off the beaten track in southeastern BC, has become a magnet for artists, writers, and filmmakers. Known to movie-goers as the location for the Steve Martin's 1986 film Roxanne, this lakeside spot is so rich with galleries, festivals, and cultural life it's been named, by John Villani in his book The 100 Best Small Arts Towns in America , as one Canada's leading arts towns. Nature play a role here too: the surrounding landscape, of snowy peaks, lakes, hot springs, and pristine but accessible parkland, is among the most beautiful -- and artistically inspiring -- in the province.
