PoMoArts is operated by the Port Moody Arts Centre Society, a non-profit community arts organization. We create art experiences that engage, challenge, and awaken opportunities for connection. We present up to sixteen exhibitions annually, featuring emerging and established local and regional artists, including community-engaged projects that explore social issues, amplify underrepresented voices, and foster dialogue.

Located in the heart of Port Moody, our main floor is dedicated to year-round exhibitions across multiple gallery spaces. We are open seven days a week (except holidays), and admission is free.

We are seeking proposals for compelling group and solo exhibitions featuring a wide variety of artistic mediums, including, but not limited to, drawing, painting, print media, photography, sculpture, ceramics, fibre media, digital art, audio/video performance, site-specific installations, and performance art. Proposals including immersive or participatory elements are encouraged.

Exhibition proposals are received and reviewed on an ongoing basis, and are evaluated based on theme cohesion, relevance, community impact, diversity of mediums, and inclusion of non-derivative artworks. If your submission is not accepted for the current exhibition season, it may be considered for future programming.

• There is no fee to submit an application.
• All artwork must be professionally presented and ready to hang or display.
• The artist is responsible for transporting the artwork to and from  PoMoArts, including any costs relating to shipping and packing the artworks.
