The Sunshine Coast Arts Council celebrated their 50th year in operation in 2o16; we’re even older than the BC Arts Council! We celebrated this achievement throughout the year with a number of events.
Tea For More Than Two
2016 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Sunshine Coast Arts Council! In celebration of this event the Arts Council is hosting a celebratory tea for the dedicated volunteers who have worked as gallery attendants over the years. The event occurs from 3-5pm, Sunday May 29th, 2016 at the Sunshine Coast Arts Center. Along with home-made goodies the volunteers will be treated to music by Anna Lumiere and memories compiled by gallery attendant co-ordinator, Sheila Page.
