Online Arts Classes
for all ages!
We are so excited to be offering a range of online arts classes for May and June, with great options for all ages and skill levels. Let loose and get creative with us!
How Does This Work?
Classes will be taught online over Zoom, so that your teacher will be able to interact and answer any questions that come up in real time!
We'll send more information on Zoom links and what to expect once you sign up for a class.
What About Art Supplies?
Classes are designed to be taught using supplies you already have around the house or that can easily be purchased online if you prefer! We'll provide supply lists and links to specific items available for purchase online.
What happens if PoMoArts re-opens?
May and June classes currently open for registration will continue to remain online for the full duration of the course.

Paint Like A Child
with Farhad Amini
May 23 - June 6 | 2-4pm
Do you remember how you would express creativity and freedom without the fear of being judged when you were a child? This program allows you to go back to the child within you and express yourself freely. It may be a window to your unconscious mind. This program helps to better observe the world around us like a child, through a non-judgmental, non-analyzing perspective.

When you sign up for a class, if you’re able, consider making a tax-deductible donation at the registration checkout for our Pay It Forward Campaign. All the funds raised will be used to help families facing economic challenges due to COVID 19, enrol their kids in summer camps.
If you have the means, please also consider making a small tax-deductible donation to PoMoArts. As a non-profit charitable organization (CRA #867745671 RR001), supporting free programs like our gallery, newly launched artist sessions, soon to be announced online community events, isn’t easy, especially now. But we’re more determined than ever to support local artists and help Port Moody’s creative community weather this challenge. Help us keep Port Moody a vibrant city of the arts. Donations can be made here.
