Ferry Buiding Great Stuff

Ferry Buiding Great Stuff

THERE's always lots of "Great Stuff" to be found around the holiday season, but for truly unique gifts and one-of-a-kind items, you should check out West Vancouver's Ferry Building Gallery's "Great Stuff" exhibition. It's a "treaure cache of crafts and artworks" created by 23 North Shore artisans and artists that runs from Dec. 4 - 16. Opening night was a special night with refreshments and goodies with the artists themselves standing by to show off their wares. Everything from fine art to stocking stuffers can be found here, so come on down and find something special.
