The Township of Esquimalt contributes to the CRD Arts & Culture Support Service. This service distributes grants to not-for-profit arts organizations in the region.
Esquimalt Council adopted a Public Art Policy in 2016. It aims to "cultivate a more vibrant community full of visually exciting and identifiable spaces where art in all its forms is incorporated into everyday life.” In 2022, Esquimalt Council amended the policy to incorporate a public art plan.
