Open Studio with Artist in Residence Keely O'Brien

Access

About

Visit the Outlet Studio to meet Port Coquitlam’s new Artist in Residence, Keely O'Brien, and learn about her residency project focused on the homes woven into family histories. During this open studio event, Keely will be collecting submissions for "place portraits." She invites community members to share descriptions and photos of buildings or locations that hold special meaning to them. Although not every submission will be turned into a portrait, all submissions will be displayed in a showing at the Outlet Studio. After the showing concludes, the finished portraits will be given to the participants who submitted their locations. Drop by to learn more and be a part of this unique community project! Children 13 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The City of Port Coquitlam

Port Coquitlam is a community of 61,000 with a strategic location in Metro Vancouver, a healthy base of businesses, new commercial and industrial areas, 271 hectares of parkland including the 25-km Traboulay PoCo Trail, well-established neighbourhoods, and a strong sense of community spirit known as PoCo Pride.

It also has a reputation for progressive governance and for its innovative approaches to managing waste, sustainable development and using technology to engage the community.

Since it was incorporated on March 7, 1913, Port Coquitlam has experienced significant growth and has strived to remain relevant to the changing times. At the same time, the City has retained its small-town charm, its authentic historic downtown core, and a tradition of community involvement.

The City strives to balance social, environmental and economic values while fulfilling citizen priorities.
