Our Community Partnership with the McMillan Arts Centre

At Bayside Resort, community is at the heart of everything we do. For over two enriching years, we’ve proudly partnered with the McMillan Arts Centre, a vibrant local hub nurturing creativity and cultural expression. Together, we’ve forged a unique collaboration that brings local art to life throughout our resort — creating a space where guests can connect deeply with the artistic soul of our region.

Serving as an extension of the McMillan Arts Centre gallery, Bayside Resort proudly showcases exceptional works by local artists, many of whom might otherwise struggle to find a platform. This partnership offers these talented individuals a beautiful stage to share their stories and craft with visitors from near and far — enriching the experience of everyone who walks through our doors.

This interactive kiosk invites guests to explore the stories behind every piece on our walls through a virtual tour. Each artwork is accompanied by a QR code — simply scan to discover the artist’s inspiration, background, and the story behind their creation. Every piece is available for purchase, giving guests a unique opportunity to bring a piece of the local art scene home with them.

Our collaboration continues to flourish, with local art gracing the gallery in our ocean view restaurant, all three floors of hallway, the pool walkway, and many more areas soon to be unveiled. This artistic infusion has transformed our rooms, restaurant, lobby, café, and hallways into a dynamic gallery — where every corner invites curiosity and connection.

Our guests often share their delight and inspiration from experiencing such an authentic, creative environment. For us, it’s a joy and a privilege to support the local artists and offer a truly memorable space that celebrates the heart of our community.

When you stay with us, you’re not just enjoying a beautiful oceanfront retreat — you’re immersing yourself in a living celebration of local creativity, community spirit, and cultural pride.

We invite you to explore, engage, and be inspired by the art and artists who make Bayside Resort truly one of a kind — in partnership with the McMillan Arts Centre.
