Local Arts

History is making history. Huble Homestead, the living museum on the site of the pioneer farm on the shores of the Fraser River north of the city, is about to open its gates for the new season.

This is the month to get mugged, if you're a pottery fan. The Prince George Potters' Guild coordinates an annual sale on some of their most popular wares, each May.

With his brand new book and his long local history, street artist Keith McKellar is making a colourful return to Prince George.

The wheels turn in the head of any comedian and they turn under the efforts of the Wheelin' Warriors of the North. This collection of local road-riders raises money for their annual pedal through the highways of the province.

Kids at storytime will get a special thrill this morning. Books & Company always has a 10 a.m. reading for children on Saturdays, but this time the reader and the author are the same person. Local artist Madeline Kloepper is the VIP guest.

Prince George is surrounded each summer by music festivals that bring a national and international presence to our region. One of the longest and liveliest is the Robson Valley Music Festival held in Dunster (about two and a half hours east of P.G.).

Skye Borgman wasn't just in Prince George to be a special guest at Northern FanCon. The director of the hit Netflix true-crime documentary Abducted In Plain Sight was also here for some project development with local writer-director James Douglas.

The pull of spring feels like a kite on a string. The colours and warmth dance and run together, pell mell, and fill us with a pure and simple joy.

Here we go again. My my, how can audiences resist? The Kelly Road Secondary School Drama department is one of the city's most storied high school theatre programs in the district.

Rise up, gather round, rock this place to the ground. Get your gunters in a row with your gliebens and glautens and globens. There's a stage show coming, and it's one for the ages.
