Heads up, all you artisans, makers and crafters. The Burnaby Arts Council has a couple of open calls for artisans to take part in upcoming events – and time is running out to apply.

First up, it’s the Summer Arts Festival at Deer Lake Gallery, featuring an outdoor market. That’s happening July 5 and 6, and the deadline to apply is June 1 – but book as early as you can, because spaces may fill up (especially for jewelry and soap artisans). Check out www.tinyurl.com/DeerLakeSummer2019 to apply.

Then, there’s the ever-popular Deer Lake Craft Festival, coming Nov. 22 to 24 to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. The deadline to apply for that festival is May 1. Check out www.tinyurl.com/DLCraft2019.
