COMMUNITY ART

Literary and visual artists are joining forces for a new exhibition at the Anvil Centre Community Art Space.

The new show, which is presented by LitFest New West in partnership with the City of New Westminster’s arts services, pairs local artists and writers. Each artist creates a work that is inspired by a text-based piece – all working from the theme of “community.”

Visual artists in the show are Barb Webb, Clarissa Argueta, Danielle Bobier, Elena Zhukova, Iris Mes-Low, Jacky Hosford, Leah Floyd, Susan Greig and Franci Louann. Literary artists are Alan Girling, Janet Kvammen, Alan Hill, Elaine Avila, Anna Camporese, Gayle Mavor, Julia Schoennagel, Lisa Strong and Celeste Snowber.

Their work will be on display from April 1 to June 2. An opening reception is set for Saturday, April 1 from 3 to 5 p.m.

See www.anvilcentre.com for more.

 

POP-UP ART

And another one for the art fans – you still have some time left to check out a pop-up art show by New West Artists, running at the Gallery at Queen’s Park.

The exhibition is on until March 26. It features work by Vicky Lynn Rae, Janet Kvammen, Tiffany Prince, Alicja Draganska, Mary Rosamond Hall, Carol Rose, Julia Schoennagel, Lisa Lawrence, Cliff Blank, Wendy Schmidt, Penny Lim, Peri Nilan, Eileen Pick and The Crowtographer (the latter being a self-described “recreational photographer with a soft spot for crows”).

You can turn out for meet-the-artist events on Sunday, March 19, plus Saturday and Sunday, March 25 and 26.

The gallery is open Wednesday 1 to 8 p.m. and Thursday through Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. It’s in Centennial Lodge at Queen’s Park.
