A FULL spectrum of the arts will be showcased next month for the inaugural Fringe Arts Regional Festival at Vancouver Arts Centre.

The FAR Festival will run from February 2 to 24 and feature four weeks of workshops, concerts and exhibitions across poetry, dance, music, visual arts and the performing arts.

Arts development officer Marianthe Loucataris said the event will give emerging artists the chance to give and receive feedback and support, as well as encourage a younger audience of art lovers to embrace VAC as an arts platform.

“We really want to support emerging artists and give them a place to make art and showcase their work,” she said.

“There will be some cutting-edge work; we are hoping to make this an annual event.”

The FAR Festival will include the likes of Beads Friends Forever, Gods of the Stadium, The World’s Tiniest Zine Fair, Casus Circus and The Presence of Wool.
