SURREY — At Surrey Art Gallery this Sunday afternoon (Feb. 8, from noon to 4 p.m.), families will celebrate B.C.'s Family Day weekend engaging in fun and creative art activities that delve into the physical places around us.
Hands-on art-making activities and a special interactive performance are inspired by the exhibition "Views from the Southbank I: Histories, Memories, Myths," which presents stories of Surrey and the surrounding South of Fraser region through a variety of visual art.
Participants will make their own passport to Surrey containing clues for artistic discoveries that will help them get to know their city. They'll step back in time with their own "tinfoil time travelling toque," make their backyard out of clay, draw what Surrey's future looks like, and more. At 2 p.m. in the StudioTheatre, storytellers Max Tell, Comfort Ero, Amy Eustergerling and Sudnya Mulye will perform. Free show tickets are available at the venue.
Admission to the four-hour event is $4 per child (all children must be with an adult). Everyone is welcome to attend.
Surrey Art Gallery is located at 13750 88th Ave., at Bear Creek Park. For more details, call 604-501-5566 or visit Surrey.ca/artgallery.
