We are located at 320 Wilson St, Revelstoke, BC V0E 2S0. (Inside the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre).

Absolutely! Contact us to arrange a time to tour the space.

Members can access the space whenever they would like once they have collected a FOB for the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre. If you would like to visit let us know and we can arrange a time.

The building entrance is on the left hand side of the building and requires a FOB. Once you’re a member of the IdeaFactory you must also purchase an annual membership to the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre which gains you 24/7 access to the space.

Entry to the building is via the side door - for courses there will be someone there to let you in.

Yes! The building is accessible to wheelchair users.

There is plenty of parking outside the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre.

We do not encourage the consumption of food in the space, but understand that people get hungry.

We love dogs too, but this space is too small to accommodate animals. Service dogs, of course, are the exception and are allowed in the space.
