Port Coquitlam’s first cultural roundtable of the year is next Thursday in the Leigh Square Community Arts Village.
And the city’s new co-ordinator of arts and culture will be introduced to guests at the event, which runs 5 to 7 p.m. in the Michael Wright Art Gallery in the Gathering Place (next to PoCo city hall).
A curator and cultural worker, Klara Manhal has a master’s degree in art history from UBC and, recently, led the Canada 150 public art project in St. Albert, Alta.
Meanwhile, reps from Thornley Creative Communications will also talk about arts and culture branding; currently, the city is developing a new strategic marketing and communications plan for the arts and culture scene.
