Arts Office eNews:: September 2011

September is here and there's lots of artsy stuff to talk about. An exciting new season of arts and cultural activity returns to theatre stages, neighbourhood studios, galleries and other creative spaces here on the North Shore.

In this issue we launch Artists Among Us, a monthly feature that shines a spotlight on talented individuals who work at the City and District of North Vancouver by day. We get a glimpse into their life after hours, and what they do to unleash their artistic passions!

Plus, art rental show biz, the latest news from North Vancouver's theatre scene, and info on upcoming workshops at the Arts Office.

Please help us share the good (e)news! Like us on the Arts Office Facebook page, follow us on Twitter, or visit our YouTube channel.

We're here for you!

  • Cameron Stewart (pictured above second from the left) has poured lots of creative energy into his job at the District of North Vancouver producing unique and quirky signs for the Parks Department since 1999. After hours, his creative focus shifts and you'll find him and his band ErRatica dishing out tunes on flutes, fiddles and banjos at weddings, wakes and musical hoots all over town! Cameron believes that music is all about poetry, and that it's the poetry that inspires and is reflected in his distinctive sign work at the District.
