Peninsula Arts Foundation is looking for new Board Members

Our Foundation awards grants in support of excellence, innovation, diversity and community involvement. The work of the foundation is supported through the active participation of volunteers, membership fees, donations and corporate sponsors, with additional funding from government programs. All monies received by the Peninsula Arts Foundation go directly to the grants program, and all directors on the Board are volunteers.

Peninsula Arts Foundation is currently looking for new board members. We serve on the board because we have an interest in the arts and giving back to our community.

We hold our board meetings once a month and also attend events that we organize. Our main focus is to provide financial support to local individuals and groups involving young people in all areas of the arts.

If you would like to become involved and are interested in joining our board please contact us at info@peninsulaartsfoundation.org and submit a brief resume describing yourself, your interests and any relevant experience.

Individuals who have experience in fund raising, have strong computer skills and past experience being on a board are encouraged to apply.

When: Saturday – September 13th from 1:30 to 4:30 pm

Cost: $50 (Peninsula Arts Foundation members price $40, Students price $30)

***$10 off if you bring a friend***

ÕThis is our first workshop in the beautiful new South Surrey Recreation Centre, and we are looking forward to trying out their facilities.  Join us in creating a collage and explore the world of painting with acrylics and mixed media. No experience required. All ages.
Some materials included, but bring along any interesting tidbits for added texture. If you have a heat gun or hair dryer that will speed up the drying time. Paints, brushes, glue,  and canvas will be provided. There really is no limit to the possibilities for this, just use your imagination.

Some ideas for things to bring with you:

  • Scraps of tissue for added texture
  • Photos printed on a laser printer
  • Keep sakes that have meaning
  • Bits of fabric or lace
  • Stencils
  • Stamps and archival stamp pads
  • Chip board shapes
  • Silk or paper flowers and miscellaneous embellishments
