Looking back to June 26, when Pride, creativity, and community came together at the 2026 Port Moody Youth Pride Festival!🌈🎨

This year’s festival once again created an inclusive space for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, families, friends, and allies to gather, connect, create, and celebrate. Led by the Tri-Cities Pride Society’s LGBTQ+ Youth Committee, the festival put youth voices and creativity at the heart of the day.

From local youth artists and musicians to hands-on art activities and opportunities to connect, PoMoArts and Kyle Centre were filled with colour, creativity, and community.

So many people made this event possible, and we’re especially grateful to the incredible youth who shared their talents, perspectives, and energy throughout the festival.

We’re already looking forward to coming together again for Port Moody Youth Pride in 2027 and continuing to create space for youth to be seen, heard, supported, and celebrated. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Here’s to another year of creativity, connection, and Pride! 💛

𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 features photographic works by emerging artist group, Poiēsis Collective, centered on the consumption and absorption of images as they manifest through tourism, advertising, and the remnants of photographic production.

The exhibition positions image consumption as an active force, exposing how visual culture shapes perception and societal values while producing both symbolic and material residue.

📍 Now on view as part of our three new exhibitions celebrating emerging artists until August 30, featuring solo exhibitions by 2026 Kwi Am Choi Scholarship recipients Michelle Msami and Jenna Weind, alongside a group exhibition by Poiēsis Collective.

Michelle Msami’s 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘢𝘣𝘳𝘦, recipient of the 2026 Kwi Am Choi Scholarship, presents a series of paintings engaging with art historical tradition and spirituality through figurative portraiture.

Using dramatic compositions shaped by light and fabric, Msami’s works personify life and death as counterparts bound in a cyclical choreography. Drawing on narrative painting as both a spiritual and secular visual language, the exhibition explores themes of mortality, duality, and transcendence.

Fred Soofi has personally moved and restored six heritage houses in Port Moody.

Most people know him for Il Mercante on Queen Street. Fewer know he’s the reason a heritage house didn’t get demolished when SkyTrain construction threatened it — he saved it, and it’s now part of the Port Moody Arts Centre.

Full story in this week’s Port Moody Pulse.

🎨 Part of our Art Out Side Media Ambassador coverage — Fred’s cooking demo is part of this year’s festival.
