Public art helps to make Port Moody aesthetically pleasing and interesting. It builds our community by enhancing quality of life, contributing to economic development, and helps celebrate our rich history. It brings art to life for citizens in many everyday settings. Public art shows Port Moody’s commitment to local artists and provides residents with access to art from British Columbia, Canada and around the world. Port Moody Official Community Plan, Chapter 10
