ArtStarts on Saturdays & ArtStarts at River Market
Looking for fun, free things to do with kids in the Lower Mainland? ArtStarts is pleased to offer free arts-based events for kids and families each month—in both Vancouver and New Westminster. Join some of the best artists working with young people for performances and workshops that explore a wide range of cultures and artistic disciplines. Each 45-minute workshop takes place twice, at 11am and 1pm. Please arrive a little early as this is a popular program. Ideal for ages 5 and up, but all are welcome. Free! Donations welcome.

Oral History Through Song & Dance with Candice George
Candice strives to instill the importance of passing on oral history, customs & traditions. In contrast, her compassionate spirit will delicately raise awareness of historic policies designed to stop this transfer of knowledge. The overall goal is to recognize the impact of these policies and acknowledge the resiliency of her family, community and all First Nations people. This performance is designed for an all-inclusive environment.
