The arts station is a cultural hub in Fernie. It is in one of the outstanding heritage buildings that used to be the Canadian Pacific Railway Station. In 1991 they moved the station a few meters from its original site, and the building has since been restored to be the arts station.
The lobby is a gallery to display the works of local artists. Quilters, painters, stitchers and weavers use the upper floor while musicians and pottery enthusiasts practice their crafts in the basement studios.
