The Langley Arts Council is looking for artists and artisans to participate in an arts and crafts festival on Sunday, July 1 in Fort Langley.
The inaugural event called the “One Can Arts Festival” will be held in conjunction with the B.C. Farm Machinery Museum’s and the Langley Centennial Museum’s annual Canada Day celebrations at the corner of King Street and Mavis Avenue in Fort Langley. Attendance at the museum’s Canada Day celebration has grown steadily over the past few years with more than 6,000 attending in 2011. Organizers are hoping to attract more than 8,000 people to the combined festival and Canada Day celebrations this year.
Several gifted entertainers have already been booked to amuse and delight children of all ages.
A kids’ fun zone is also being planned.
The showcase and sale of artworks by local and regional artists and artisans will bring a new dimension to Canada Day celebrations, highlighting their talent in a very busy and public setting.
Interested artists and artisans can download an application to participate in the One Can Arts Festival at www.langleyarts.org or can get further information by telephoning the Langley Arts Council at 604-534-0781.
