Local Arts

The history - both real and imagined - of Ceperley Mansion is the inspiration for a new exhibition at the Burnaby Art Gallery.

A pianist from Burnaby is a rising star on Canada's classical music scene. Christopher Kusuhara was a finalist in the recent Stepping Stone 2012 competition, a national contest open to top young classical performers.

Three up-and-coming Burnaby filmmakers are among those who received awards at the 17th annual EyeLens Film, Video and Animation Festival.

We're continuing with our popular feature - our staff's Top 5 (Or More) Things To Do This Weekend. For this issue, we have Burnaby's first Bosnia Fest, a kids' swapmeet and some ideas for Father's Day.

If crime fiction is your thing, then don't miss the Burnaby Writers' Society's next Spoken Ink night. The group's next reading night is set for Tuesday, June 19 at La Fontana Caffe in North Burnaby.

Art lovers, have you been by Deer Lake Gallery for the new exhibition yet? Between View and Hue, by Silke Spodzieja, is on at the gallery until June 24.

It's become a tradition for the Shadbolt Centre to host a cabaret night - and this year is no exception.

It's a Canadian classic - and it's coming to life as a benefit for the Burnaby Camping Bureau. The Burnaby Public Library is presenting a special celebratory reading of Stephen Leacock's Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town.

The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts was all about dance on April 28. The centre hosted a special Saturday Art on the Spot celebration to help mark International Dance Day. It featured performances and class demonstrations by the centre's dance students.

It's going to be an action-packed summer at Deer Lake Park. Once again, the park plays host to the Live Nation outdoor summer concert series - up first is Bon Iver on May 25, with Foster the People on June 25 and Florence + the Machine on July 20.
