Local Arts

There's nothing fantastic about the major loss in revenue and potential local spin-off when a Marvel franchise pulled out of Mammoth Studios recently.

The Burnaby NOW arts reporter, Marelle Reid, recently chatted with Rob Bracken of Brickhouse about his career and upcoming performance at this summer's Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival.

Families can enjoy a variety of activities around the city throughout this long weekend. A few highlights:.

Tom Wray is an expert when it comes to wood.

Attendees of Burnaby's annual Blues and Roots Festival will have to be at the park a little earlier this year, as organizers have decided to start the show an hour sooner to accommodate the number of acts performing this year.

Art lovers have another new exhibition to enjoy at Deer Lake. The Burnaby Arts Council has just opened a new three-week exhibition, Containing Space, at its Deer Lake Gallery. The exhibition runs until Aug. 17.

It's a favourite destination for theatre lovers every summer, and this year is no exception.

Art lovers have plenty of opportunities to check out a fascinating variety of work around the city.
