West Vancouver Silk Purse Gallery 40th Anniversary

July 8, 2008

By Catherine "Cat" Barr

The North Shore Outlook is delivered to over 60,000 homes in Canada's wealthiest communities, North Vancouver and West Vancouver, every Thursday - over 60,000 issues in print.

 

The sun was shining down on the little gallery-by-the-sea as the West Vancouver Community Arts Council and Silk Purse Gallery held a special 40th anniversary party this past Tuesday. The evening gathering, which featured food, cake and lots of memories, also did double duty as guests celebrated the opening of "The Purse-suit of Hattiness" exhibit . The show, which runs from July 8-20 features specially designed hats and purses by local artists and is a must see for everyone who has a special memory to share with art lovers all across the North Shore. Congrats to everyone.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
