Port Moody wants to show why it's called the City of the Arts.
And it's calling for visual artists, musicians and performers — as well as food and beverage vendors — to be part o the inaugural Day of the Arts celebration.
The afternoon event at Port Moody city hall (100 Newport Dr.) will coincide with Culture Days across Canada.
Anyone wanting to be part of the fun is asked to apply before the Aug. 31 deadline. Call 604-469-4722 or visit portmoody.ca/culturedays.
PJ TIME
Kids can slip on their PJs and carry their stuffies to the Terry Fox Library next Wednesday to hear night-time stories, songs and rhymes.
The Port Coquitlam library (2470 Mary Hill Rd.) hosts its pyjama story time session Sept. 2 from 6:45 to 7:15 p.m. — a week before students head back to school.
There is no cost for the program. Call 604-927-7999 or visit fvrl.bc.ca.
BLACKBERRY
Paintings, drawings, wood carving, ceramics and metal work from members of the Blackberry Artists Society will be highlighted at the Port Moody Public Library next month.
The group, which has 26 artists and runs a gift shop at the Port Moody Arts Centre, will have several pieces on display at the library (100 Newport Dr.).
