#11 PoMoArts
Port Moody Arts Centre is a not-for-profit community-arts organization that creates art experiences to engage, challenge, and awaken opportunities for connection. We provide art education, exhibitions, and community art experiences in the City of the Arts with various partners and artists each year.
We are supported by a thriving community of artists, volunteers, donors, businesses, associations, and decision-makers. We are run primarily by artists, committed to developing, promoting, and celebrating meaningful arts experiences in Port Moody. We create meaningful community art experiences with our partners that explore social issues, lift voices of those less heard, and support community dialogue. We offer a full range of visual, ceramic, fibre, media, performing arts and music programs for people of all ages and experience levels.
Our gallery curates exhibitions of local and regional artists, emerging and established and includes a gift shop run by the Blackberry Artists Society. The Blackberry Gift Shop is artist-run and curated, selling the work of local artists, where you will find gifts for every occasion.

Tracing the Unbound: Past, Present, and Future of Port Moody
Tracing the Unbound uncovers the connections between time, place, and memory through the eyes of the Port Moody Art Association (PMAA). Featuring sweeping landscapes and intimate portrayals of local features, the exhibition offers reflective interpretations of Port Moody. Each piece tells a story, whether through the lens of the community’s history, by capturing its present, or imagining what lies ahead.

The PMAA serves as a platform where freedom of expression thrives, ensuring a dynamic connection between artists, their patrons, and the city they call home.
