This month and next,we have a group display in the cases leading up the stairs to where you pay your city invoices, taxes and fines. We hope that our work makes your financial responsibilities a little less painful and, at this time of year, helps solve some of your gifting problems.

Our Christmas Marketplace at the Port Moody Arts Centre (2425 St. Johns Street, Port Moody) is open every day until Dec 22nd, from 10am until 6pm Monday to Friday, to 5pm on Saturdays, and between 12 noon and 4pm on Sundays.

All items on display in the City Hall cases are available for purchase - simply leave a message at 604 931 2008 (ext. 102) or email blackberrygiftshop [at] live dot ca to arrange to have it brought to the shop for you. We accept cash and credit cards in payment, and have handmade gift bags, cards, magnets and card enclosures as well as our amazing artisan tree decorations for sale to complete the gift.

See you soon!

Art at Council: Vicki Allesia

by Vicki Allesia
Every so often, City Hall asks us to provide a piece of art at council.
As the City of the Arts, it is important to show artists to the general public and for us as an artist society, it's fun to tell the story behind a piece of art.
This month, Blackberry member and treasurer presented her art to Port Moody city council. After being introduced by the mayor, Mike Clay, Vicki described how a painting emerged and then re-emerged as she worked through her artistic process.
Enjoy the story - you can listen in the clip here.
