A Co-Working Club for Creators.
Supporting artists to create the best work of their careers.
The Club
What happens when Artists from multiple disciplines are given the inspiration to create, the studio environments to capture that creation, and the community to share their creation with, all under one roof?
Designed as a Coworking Club for Creators, Haus of Owl exists to support the creative spirit, hunger, and process of artists in the world of music, film, fashion, photography and dance. This curated community consists of Membership options that span from Drop-In Artist to Dedicated Creator with in-house recording and film studios supported by a collective of industry pros.
Activating Artists
Haus of Owl’s journey highlights how underutilized spaces can transform into vibrant creative hubs through community, collaboration, and innovation. By activating artists and storytellers, we breathe life into the city, creating an ecosystem where art, technology, and culture intersect to shape downtown Victoria’s identity.

The Art: Member Highlights
SCOTT ALDERSON: ANOMALY
short film
A Haus of Owl Production Directed by Jordan Dack
A cinematic gallery of poems, representing nine of Scott Alderson's most recent works from his book "Finding Jamie". "Anomaly" is a provocative dreamscape of words, imagery, and music set to an almost dystopian hum of anger, loss and, in the end, gratitude.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
