Evening Events in the City of Coquitlam: February 2018

Residents and visitors alike are always looking for new, accessible, and enriching experiences in the City of Coquitlam. Whether you are looking for date night ideas or simply to have an art-filled evening out, check out our list to see some of our most anticipated events in Coquitlam, this week’s featured creative community.

  1. Fine Art & Wine | Place des Arts | Feb 16, 2018, 7:00 PM

Utilizing several mixed media, A Mosaic of Our Past (the first of three exhibitions offered this month at Place des Arts), offers up the unique perspectives of local artists on the unique history of the multicultural landscape that is Coquitlam. Next, Balance, a Fibre Art Exhibition by Mardell Ramptonn, blends contemporary abstract textile cloth and commercial textile paintings with her long-standing love of the oceans, skies and forests of the West Coast of Vancouver Island in order to explore the tension between striving to achieve balance while immersed in a continual state of imbalance. Lastly, Lori Sokoluk’s Port Town blends soft elements, lines, and curving shapes with mechanical and industrial elements, to provide her commentary on industry, wealth, national security, prestige, and access to nature. Head to Place des Arts on February 16th for the opening reception of their new exhibitions, and try a selection of wine pairings from their exhibition sponsor. No RSVP required.

  1. Hors d’Oeuvres & Conversations | Mackin House Museum | Feb 13, 2018, 7:00 PM
