Visions of the North Shore - Catherine Barr

VISIONS of the North Shore is "an arts and heritage millennium project that commemorates and links 12 historically significant sites with interpretive prints." Local artists were each assigned one of the sites and now, at various venues across the North Shore, their work will be displayed for all to see. "Reflections of Place" is the first in the series and it opened on June 29 at the West Vancouver Museum and Archives. A special ceremony was held and both the mayor and the artists attended. The exhibit runs until December 16. Phone the museum for more information 925-7295.
