For about five weeks every winter, the galleries at PoMoArts in Port Moody turn into a holiday shop of local art and craft: paintings and prints, ceramics, jewellery, textiles and ornaments, all made nearby. The Blackberry Winter Arts Market is co-hosted by PoMoArts and the Blackberry Artists’ Society, and it’s a good place to find a gift that wasn’t made in a factory.
The 2026 market runs November 19 to December 22, opening with a reception on Thursday, November 19, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
