For over 50 years Place des Arts, in Coquitlam, has been serving the community as a not-for-profit arts education centre. To help it continue making art accessible for years to come, Place des Arts host its 10th Annual Online Auction fundraiser from Saturday, October 17 at 9am to Sunday, November 1 at 9pm.
