Artists Ben Roback, Sandra MacKay and Otto Kamensek will be at the Port Moody Arts Centre on Thursday to talk about their group exhibit with Kickstart Disability Arts & Culture.
The talk at 7 p.m. gives the public a chance to talk about their work in Can You See Us, Port Moody? as well as “learn more about their motivation, process and the challenges of being identified as an artist who lives with a disability,” said Yuri Arajs, artistic director for Kickstart.
PMAC is located at 2425 St. Johns St.

Up to 10 pictures are allowed per person and photographers must have release forms or waivers from anyone captured in the photo.
To apply, download images via portmoody.ca and include your name, telephone number and email address as well as a short description about where and when the picture was snapped.
The deadline is Oct. 6.
Meanwhile, Port Coquitlam wants city images for its next street banner program. Photos — along with digital art, collage, painting, illustration and printmaking — will be accepted until Jan. 31. Up to five entries per person are allowed. Call 604-927-8441 or email [email protected].
