#19 - Spring Street Studios 1
In 2019, PCI made changes to two of their industrial buildings, just steps away from skytrain. Their goal was to accommodate a community of local artists in 16 studios. Thanks to significant subsidies from PCI, the Spring Street Artist Studios have become an arts hub in the City of the Arts.
Address: 3010A Spring Street, Port Moody

Exhibiting Artists
Sarah Dixon
Sarah Dixon has been creating theatre since 2002 and formed Port Moody's Rebel Haunt Theatre in 2009. She has served as the company’s Artistic Director ever since. Her art practice began in her early years as she sat alongside her artist grandmother painting in the garden.
“Sarah studied writing and visual arts at the Kootenay School of the Arts and still practices drawing, painting, ceramics and mixed media. She brings a strong visual and poetic style to the theatre performances she creates with her company. Her artwork and theatre focus on micro epic storytelling. Filling canvases, cafes, fields, townsites and other everyday spaces with vast human significance.”
Pauline Doyle
“I'm a graduate from UBC and studied fine arts at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. After teaching at the Port Moody Arts Centre for 20 years, I've retired into a life of creativity and other adventures. I look forward to seeing you around.
I create ceramics, paintings, textiles and fiber arts. Port Moody is my home and I'm blessed to be able to create here. Hope you enjoy the Shuffle.”
Julia Nygra
Julia has always been interested in the therapeutic benefits and expressions through art. She completed two residencies at Leigh Square Art Center and more recently, at Port Moody Art Center.
Julia considers herself a perpetual student - always interested in new and ever evolving techniques of manipulating clay.
Grateful for the support of her colleagues, Julia hopes to engage, inspire others and assist others in their healing journey and exploration.
“Our passions are reflected in the work we do. Art is a glimpse of the creator's influences, dreams and soul.”
