The Victoria Arion Male Choir

The Victoria Arion Male Choir is one of the newest choirs in Victoria, BC. In the summer of 2018 the Arion Male Voice Choir and the Victoria Male Voice Choir chose to unite into a new choir. The two choirs came to the realization that they could better fulfill their dreams of being “a community of men singing for health and joy” as one group rather than two. It is an exciting new venture which is already proving to be a great success both musically and organizationally.

The choir rehearses on Monday evenings (September – June) from 6:50 – 9:15 pm at Cordova Bay United Church, 813 Claremont Avenue and presents 2 major concerts plus a number of shorter programs at care facilities each year. We are always looking for new members – men who love to sing a wide variety of music in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

Back to Public Concerts in May 2022 - We are happy to announce that our next scheduled concert will have an audience. The “Island Voices” concert will be held on Sunday May 29, 2022 at 2:00 pm, at Cordova Bay United Church, our usual location.

Staying Creative Gallery is proud to announce that our first art show and grand opening is coming in the Spring of 2022 featuring new works by Nathan and Kristofer. Inspired by their new surroundings, Nathan and Kristofer have been excitedly creating new pieces and cannot wait to share them with you. 

Staying Creative Gallery is a brick and mortar location situated in tranquil Brentwood Bay, on the traditional lands of the Tsartlip First Nation, one of five communities that make up the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation on Southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. 

Kristofer has been painting with watercolours for more than thirty years. What you see here is just a glimpse into a massive collection of art he has created over the years for collectors, friends & family. 

Commissions are always welcome and encouraged if you are looking for something specific or personal, as he can work within any budget. If you are interested in discussing a commission, please send him an email at kristoferparley@gmail.com 

From Kristofer’s use of creative substrates for his pen & ink pieces; to his massive varnished watercolours on wooden cradle panel, his most recent pieces can be seen on his website.

Nathan NAZO Davis is a visual artist with roots in graffiti spanning over three decades. His vibrant colours and skillful techniques learned at an early age lend well to his current mediums of choice.

From realistic animal portraits to custom model trains, from large scale murals and abstract paintings to digital illustration, Nathan’s work has evolved into an organic representation of what inspires him.  Living in Victoria BC with his husband and fellow artist Kristofer Parley, in the Heart of Canada’s Oldest Chinatown, his surroundings became a muse from where his creativity flowed for almost 8 years.  In the Summer of 2021 they left Chinatown to open their own gallery in beautiful Brentwood Bay, BC which is a short 25 min drive from downtown Victoria.
