The Port Moody Arts Centre Society is a registered non-profit society governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and managed by an Executive director and staff. The Society operates in a unique heritage building that was Port Moody's original City Hall built in 1913. The Port Moody Arts Centre is a thriving multidisciplinary arts centre offering over 300 arts, dance, music and theatre programs each year, hosting over 25 art exhibitions in four separate art galleries, plus special events, scholarship programs and the annual Port Moody Festival of the Arts and the Wearable Art Awards.
The CDMF was started in 1953 on the suggestion of Beryl MacLeod (Founder). At that time the students were participating in the Kiwanis Festival in Vancouver. The parents, children and teachers were weary of driving or taking the train all the way into the city and back, often returning late at night. Beryl suggested, 'Let's put Port Coquitlam on the map and start our own festival'.
Opus Art Supplies began as a small picture frame manufacturer over 35 years ago, designing its own frames and stocking framing supplies oriented towards the professional arts community. A great many of the relationships which we established early on have remained, as many of our long-term customers continue to shop with us to this day. We now stock ready-made frames, chop frames and mats, student and professional art supplies, a full range of unique arts and craft materials which we continue to expand plus a Digital Printing Service to take digital artwork and photographs from the screen to print.
Accent Art Distributors Ltd. has been serving the retail frame industry for over 24 years. We specialize in wholesale picture frame supplies, wood, and metal moulding. Our business is founded on a philosophy of high quality service.
