ArtStarts presents Stories and Strings with Anne Glover: Free performances and workshops for kids
NEW WESTMINSTER: Sunday, June 1, 2014 at 11am and 1pm (2 sessions)
at River Market at Westminster Quay, 810 Quayside Drive, New Westminster
Anne Glover’s hilarious stories feature mind-bending figures that she weaves out of a loop of string. A turtle, a snake, a bird, a rocket… is there anything she can’t make? You’ve never heard a story told like this, and a simple shoelace will never look the same!
Sessions start at 11am and 1pm. Free! No pre-registration necessary. Ideal for kids 4 and up, but all are welcome!
ArtStarts at River Market is a free workshop series for families, featuring free, fun, 45-minute arts workshops with some of the best children’s artists.
While at the ArtStarts Gallery, also check out the new exhibition, Timescapes, featuring artwork by young people.

Each week is dedicated to one of the five positive human qualities that make up Heart-Mind Well-being.
Equipped with background information on each Heart-Mind quality and a do-able list of activities – you choose your action to promote this quality both in yourself and with the children in your life (your classroom, your school, your home, your neighbourhood).
