Arts Office eNews:: February 2013

In our February eNews, we want to share the creative spirit and innovative thinking that has been infusing the development of a new cultural plan over the past year. The public is invited to a Community Info~Input Session on February 28th to learn more about the process and provide feedback on Culture Plan 2013-2023: Creative Spirit North Vancouver.

In our Artists Among Us series we shine the spotlight on a recent recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee medal. Plus, we celebrate the unveiling of The Salmon People, a beautiful new mural created at last year's North Shore Culture Days. Read on for these and other stories about what's happening in our creative north shore community!
