The District of Oak Bay contributes to the CRD Arts & Culture Support Service. This service distributes grants to not-for-profit arts organizations in the region.
Oak Bay hosts many arts-related community events throughout the year, and facilitates several arts initiatives. The District also approved a new public art policy in 2023 to "encourage, promote and/or enhance opportunities for a wide variety of art forms."
