Take a walk around Moody Centre on Friday (June 23) for the return of The Shuffle — Port Moody Art Walk.
More than 100 artists in the City of the Arts will show their wares — and demonstrate their talent — from 4 to 9 p.m. at 20 venues around the neighbourhood, including at PoMoArts, Spring Street Studios and Brave Brewing.
Among the visual artists participating in the annual Shuffle are:
- Tamara Grand, a mixed-media artist and abstract painter
- Angie Quintanilla Coates, an artist and illustrator
- Chris Dunnette, a multidisciplinary artist
- Julia Nygra, a ceramic artist
The Shuffle is sponsored in part by Beedie Living, Marcon, PCI Developments and Placemaker Communities.
Meanwhile, poets with the Tri-City Wordsmiths will also present their work in public places courtesy of a Neighbourhood Small Grant:
- Julie Schmidt: in front of the Rocky Point Centre
- Carmy Stubbs: Barre Fitness
- Karen Hein: Queen’s Street Plaza
- Rohini Sunderam: 2415 Clarke St.
Started in 2017 by Port Moody art leaders and gallery curators Helen Daniels, Zoe Royer and Janice Cotter, The Shuffle saw more than 700 attendees each in 2018 and 2019; however, it was cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
