The Penticton and District Community Arts Council will be continuing to deliver their services online for March.
The Arts Matter events for the month include a comic making event, as well as take-and-make art packs.
Aging Well Penticton and other local social service groups will be receiving 70 of those art packs, with the remainder available to the public by contacting the PDCAC office.
So far, the PDCAC has produced and deliver over 1,200 art packs to families, seniors and children since the start of the pandemic, with 500 packs just for Valentine’s Day. Those packs were created in partnership with the recreation coordinators at the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen.
