SUMMARY:Connected Threads Art Reception
DESCRIPTION:We invite you for an evening reception with the artists in our current group show!  \nMeet our August Artists-in-Residence Connected Threads for a free night of art conversations from 6pm to 7:30pm on August 20th. \nNo admission or purhcase necessary\, light refreshments and tea provided\, drop-ins welcome. \nAt its core\, Connected Threads uses the thread as a metaphor for the physical and emotional lines connecting us all. This exhibition brings together three semi-abstract artists — Astrid Fox\, Shafina Eddicott and Pam Zenkawich — who explore the boundaries of colour\, composition and texture. Though they work in different mediums and styles\, their artworks speak to one another\, creating a visual tapestry woven from shared stories of memory\, emotion\, and human connection.

SUMMARY:Art Out Side Festival - Day 10
DESCRIPTION:The Threads Between Us – A public weaving project\nTIME: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM \nLOCATION: PoMoArts (2425 St Johns St\, Port Moody) \nARTIST: Elizabeth Raposo \nThis project is an experiential space that encourages festival goers of all ages to participate in the collective creation of a tangible representation of our effect on the community around us. An A-frame tent will be warped with thread and fabric yarn will be provided for participating in the creation of the tapestry covering the tent frame. This installation affords a structure to experience as well as to make and encourages festival goers of all ages\, abilities\, and interests to participate in the exhibit. The Threads Between Us is a reminder of the deeply entwined connection we all share and our effect on our collective creations\, whether we simply exist\, observe\, and/or create in the space. Participation\, experimentation\, and questions are encouraged! \n“I am so excited to see this project come to life! I am looking forward to working with participants at Art Out Side and hope to inspire others to experiment with making things that speak to them!” \n‍ \nWhat Glows Within\nTIME: 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM \nLOCATION: PoMoArts (2425 St Johns St\, Port Moody) \nARTIST: Joy Baker \nWhat Glows Within is an immersive UV painting experience where visitors collaborate to reveal a glowing portrait of Port Moody. Inside a blacklight-lit space\, participants use vibrant UV-reactive paints to colour sections of a large fluorescent line drawing inspired by the city’s waterfront\, mountains\, forests\, wildlife\, and community. As each person adds their own brushstrokes\, the artwork gradually transforms into a luminous celebration of the place we share – revealing that the true light of Port Moody comes from the people who bring it to life. \n“I’m excited to be part of Art Out Side because I love creating experiences that bring people together through creativity. What Glows Within is about more than painting – it’s about revealing the beauty\, energy and spirit of Port Moody through hundreds of individual contributions. I hope people leave feeling inspired\, connected and proud to have helped create something that quite literally glows from within.” \n‍ \nWhispering Walls: A Voice-Activated Projection Mapping Experience\nTIME: 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM \nLOCATION: PoMoArts (2425 St Johns St\, Port Moody) \nARTIST: Tarcila Neves \nWhispering Walls transforms a Port Moody structure into a living\, responsive canvas. Audiences approach a standing microphone and speak\, sing\, or make sound — their voice’s pitch and rhythm trigger real-time shifts in a projected animation\, changing how the story ends. The visuals themselves come from the community: local participants’ hand-drawn artwork\, created in workshops leading up to the festival\, is digitized and animated for the mapping. Part projection art\, part public ritual\, Whispering Walls turns Art Out Side’s audience into co-authors of the work. \n“Art Out Side asks artists to rethink where and how art happens — and that’s exactly the space I love working in. Whispering Walls only exists because people show up and speak into it; the city becomes a canvas\, and the audience becomes the author. I can’t wait to see what Port Moody has to say.” \nThis event has limited participants—please reserve your free spot here:https://app.ticketowl.io/o/Zob2fg7GuUlyWAAF/event/amf0-ZFwynAhOwAp \n‍ \nPhantom Jungle\nTIME: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM \nLOCATION: PoMoArts (2425 St Johns St\, Port Moody) \nARTIST: Phantom Jungle (Nick Lagasse\, Alfredo Mangherini) \nPhantom Jungle in ”Marconi & The Wild Jungle Signals” transforms any space into a playful collision of colors\, imagination and sounds. Inspired by wild animal calls\, imaginary jungles\, and the invisible line of radio signals\, the duo creates a live performance where modern analog synths\, psych guitar\, and electronic loops collaborate with traditional flutes\, Korean junggu drum\, making a global musical sound. Created by Alfredo Mangherini (Italy) and Nicholas Lagasse (Canada)\, the project invites audiences to space out with shifting sonic landscapes and experience the street as a living\, unexpected jungle ecosystem. \n“We are excited to be part of Art Out Side 2026 as our music connects naturally with art and creative environments. Phantom Jungle makes colorful musical experiences through original music\, improvisation and expressive rhythms. We love the idea of contributing to a space where art\, street and community come together and where music becomes part of the atmosphere.”

The piece is a creative way to bring attention to the several wars happening around the globe at this time.
