The North Vancouver Community Arts Council (NVCAC) held their opening reception for "The Fabulous Art Rental Show" last Thursday at Lonsdale's CityScape Gallery. This unique program lets people rent origianl artwork for their home or office from as little as $8 a month. Renters can choose from over 250 pieces by over 100 artists. This bi-annual exhibit runs from Jan 9 - 18, so check out some of our local favourites.
