The unique artistic community of Wells is nestled in a picturesque setting of mountains and lakes, providing the perfect environment for a learning holiday. This little 1930’s mining town is as friendly now as it was in its mining heyday.
Wells is located in central BC on the traditional unceded territory of the Lhtako Dené. By car it is about a day’s drive from Vancouver, Calgary or Edmonton.
