Four arts and cultural groups — and a dancer — are up for Port Coquitlam city grants.

On Tuesday, council will consider handing out a total of $11,000 from its Community Cultural Development Investment Program to the Polonez Tri-City Polish Association, Art Focus Artists' Association, Theatrix Youtheatre Society and Hyde Creek Watershed Society.

The Polish association will host its 12th annual festival in Leigh Square Community Arts Village on May 28.

As well, council will consider a $2,500 request from Justine Fraser, who will host a four-day dance training session for PoCo youth. Her intensive is called Reforming Art Productions' Youth Mentorship.

The next city council meeting is May 23.
