Culture Days is the largest-ever collective public participation campaign undertaken by the arts and cultural community in this country. Here on on the North Shore, Culture Days will invite the community to discover a wide range of free, interactive events and creative opportunities that exist right here in our own backyard!

For creative organizations, North Shore Culture Days will be an opportunity to strut your stuff, build awareness, kick off your new season, interact and reach new audiences. 

For the general public, North Shore Culture Days will offer hands-on creative opportunities - a chance to throw some pottery, discover dance, paint a mural, sing, learn something new!  The scope of Culture Days is as limitless as your imagination. And, the best part, it's all free!

Promotional Opportunity! Over 30 events are already registered in North Vancouver and West Vancouver. Participating groups will benefit from a special North Shore Culture Days campaign coordinated by the Arts Office that includes promotional materials, support, and the chance to be included in a 4-page spread with downloadable Map and Activity Guide in the September 28th issue of the North Shore News.

Additional media support from CBC and the Globe & Mail will raise the profile for this 3rd annual Culture Days celebration to new heights across Canada and here on the North Shore!
