It may be still summer but a Coquitlam arts centre already has its eye on Christmas.
Place des Arts (1120 Brunette Ave.) is calling for artists and artisans to be part of its annual Christmas Boutique and Positively Petite miniature show.
The boutique — an expanded version of the facility's year-round shop — and the exhibit will run from mid-November to mid-December.
For the boutique, staff are looking for finely crafted items such as felted pieces, silver work, unique pottery, leather products, hand-weaving and other quality handcrafted items (no hand-made cards, photos, paintings, prints or assembled — as in beaded — jewelry).
New artists will have up to five pieces of their work juried. To apply by the Oct. 16 deadline, visit placedesarts.ca and look under Artisan Shop/Christmas Boutique.
Call Lidia Kosznik, at 604-664-1636 (ext. 23) or email [email protected].
For Positively Petite, 2D and 3D miniature art is sought for the display that runs Nov. 13 to Dec. 16.
And new artists are asked to deliver their works on Oct. 17 to be juried while returning artists can hand in their pieces — with artwork identification cards attached — between Oct. 31 and Nov. 5. Call 604-664-1636 (ext. 32) for more details.
