Bring your date, your sibling, your mom, your favourite barista or fly solo for an evening of watercolour fun with Surnoor Singh as part of a new monthly series encouraging people to leave their houses and create. Last month was the first CityScape Date Night and explored acrylics with artist host Jinfei Wang—this month it’s all about watercolour. Taking place at the CityScape Community ArtSpace from 6:30-8:30 pm in North Van, the Date Night Series is an opportunity for people to connect with others in a new and fun way while showing off their art skills. The art supplies are all provided (and a glass of wine!) so you can discover your inner Picasso or at least leave with something that’s fridge-worthy. Register online before it fills up, there are only three more in this series which ends in June.
When: March 2 Where: CityScape Community ArtSpace Cost: $45 More Info: northvanarts.ca
Witness an exclusive excerpt from their upcoming full-length work Raven Mother, set to premiere in 2024 by Northwest Coast’s own Dancers of Damelahamid, who host the annual 4-day indigenous performing arts festival honouring Indigenous stories, song, and dance from Canada and around the world. In celebration of reciprocity between global Indigenous communities, this year’s festival will support cultural exchange with New Zealand, featuring the festival debut of New Zealand Indigenous performing artist Rosie Te Rauawhea Belvie. It starts with a free artist sharing followed by the signature evening dance performance (you’ll need a ticket for this) with Saturday and Sunday’s stage performances being donation only. Catch them now before the Dancers of Damelahamid travel to New Zealand to share their cultural knowledge at the biannual Indigenous performance festival, Kia Mau, in June 2023.

Pi Theatre, as part of its Provocateurs Series, presents this evening of multidisciplinary art produced by Black Space Media/Afro Van Connect. Black Space Jame (BSJ) showcases, amplifies and celebrates local and international Black artists and creatives and the theme of the night is cultural renaissance. Featuring dance, spoken word, stand-up comedy, music and a live DJ, BSJ offers attendees a cultural experience and spectrum of Black art. There will also be various vendors selling their locally made goods and time between each artist’s 20-minute set for all to mix and mingle. Check out the amazing line-up here and don’t miss out on this night that is not a reimagining of the movie Space Jam (like I first thought when I saw it)— it’s even better.
Did you know that about 16 percent of a human’s body weight is made up of skin? If you’re into skin-crawling facts like that you’ll want to come to see Science World’s latest installment which covers skin across different organisms, and its impact on shaping physical and social interactions with its outside world. Featuring a range of collections and engaging interactive experiences, you can expect to see a variety of skin across the animal kingdom (including a life-size rhinoceros model that shows the largeness of its skin) examine keratin-based feathers, furs, and quills; and touch different specimens, like snakeskin and otter fur. This fun is more than skin-deep.
When: March 3- May 29 Where: Science World Cost: From $30.40 More Info: scienceworld.ca
