The City of Surrey’s Crescent Beach Pop Up Gallery has opened its doors to the public for the first time in more than two-and-a-half years.
“Creative Curiosities,” the first in-person show at the gallery since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, is now up, and everyone is invited to step inside. During the pandemic, exhibits at the city-run gallery were restricted to a window-only display, which could be viewed from the street.
