“Amazing event. Good to know how many truly amazing artists live on the north shore.” “Another fabulous event and year! I absolutely LOVE being able to get ‘behind the scenes’ in artists’ studios, meeting them in person, learning about their passions. AND...it gave me the chance to see some ‘favourites’ again...and this time, purchase a special something or two!” “The variety of talent and openness of artists to share their spaces really helps connect community to the arts. Sale or no sale it helps build interest and break down barriers, mystique or misconceptions. I love the crawl. Thank you!”

In 2018, we broadened the scope of the series to present short films by students in the Capilano University School of Motion Picture Arts programme.
