A Curated Creative House.
A home for dedicated creators in downtown Victoria.
The Club
Haus of Owl is a curated creative house in downtown Victoria. Musicians, filmmakers, photographers, podcasters, writers and dancers work here side by side, and that proximity is the point: collaborations, referrals and new work start in the hallway.
Under one roof you'll find Creator Spaces and desks, studios by the hour and the day, a curated membership, the Creator Directory, production services, projection and equipment rentals, and events and workshops. We serve committed creators at every stage, from pre-professional to established.
Introducing:
The Creator Directory
Haus of Owl is made up of a community of working creators. Meet them in the Creator Directory, or become one of them. Your own listing in the Directory is part of Community membership.

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 Haus
Haus of Owl brings together dedicated Creator Spaces, shared common areas, and studios for recording, photo and video, voice work and rehearsal, all designed to support an artist’s creative process. Studios are equipped with the necessary gear to bring big ideas to life. HOO Studios are available to our core Membership and to external parties looking to create superior content.

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.
