ArtsConnect’s ArtsCalendar is a work in progress. Presently, we are working with a small group of arts organizations from across the Tri-Cities to develop the ArtsCalendar before we open up submissions from all arts organizations and we are not accepting direct submissions at this time. If your organization is interested in joining the ArtsCalendar in the future, please email your name, address, and a brief description of your organization to: [email protected]
This resource has been made possible through the financial support of ArtsConnect’s members. If you would like to support the further development, please consider becoming a member here: Membership

Book Reading: JJ Lee | Jennifer Pownall | Lynn Easton
‘Tis the season to grab a hot chocolate and cookies and settle in for a long winter’s night of cozy holiday stories – with a bit of a twist.
Author and editor JJ Lee, a former CBC Radio journalist, will bring his energetic and irreverent holiday cheer to Port Coquitlam’s Western Sky Books on Thursday, December 4th for a free evening of holiday readings from his latest Tidewater Press Christmas anthology, Better This Year.
Lee, an RBC Taylor Prize finalist for his book Measure of a Man, will be joined by a small sleighful of other Better This Year contributors including Port Coquitlam writer Jennifer Pownall and local Words in the Burbs reading series host Lynn Easton.
This humorous and heartfelt anthology celebrates stories of resilience in the face of less-than-perfect Christmas adversity and is the third in Lee’s series of refreshingly honest books about the season. The trilogy also includes Better Next Year and Upon a Midnight Clear, all published by New Westminster’s Tidewater Press.
The free event begins at 7pm on December 4th and is generously hosted by Western Sky Books at 2850 Shaughnessy St, Unit 2132, Port Coquitlam.
