The Bowen Island Arts Council thinks everyone should just take a hike. Well, they are suggesting residents would enjoy indulging in a Bowen Art Walk. As part of Arts and Culture Week in BC, which runs from April 10 to 16 April, BIAC is launching a self-guided event that involves an easy hike from the Dallas Marina in Snug Cove.

Wind your way up Government Road with a few delightful detours and a stop at the Bowen Island Community School, ultimately landing at Artisan Square. Watch for the free map in your mail box, or pick up one at the Gallery @ Artisan Square, which will guide you in exploration and discovery of impressive sculptures, carvings, murals, mosaics and other artworks created by local creative residents in the fourth most artistic community in Canada.

BIAC invites the community to take the walk on Saturday, April 16, at your own leisure, but ending up at Artisan Square, where merchants, galleries and studios will welcome you with special events including refreshments and live music from 1 to 3 p.m. (weather permitting). It's a great opportunity for a little physical and creative exercise plus a chance to revisit favourite shops and boutiques at Artisan Square and discover a whole bunch of new ones. For more info, call BIAC at 604.947.2454, or email info@biac.ca.
