Art Out Side 2026: Artist Call for Short Film Screenings
From August 7-16, 2026, Art Out Side Festival returns to transform Port Moody into an immersive multidisciplinary exhibition of outdoor installations, live art activations, and artist-led initiatives in everyday spaces across the city. Curated by PoMoArts, the 2026 program invites audiences to experience art in motion beyond traditional gallery walls, with creative work embedded into familiar cityscapes and natural landscapes.
This year, we are launching a dedicated evening of short film screenings and are seeking submissions from local filmmakers based in BC. Whether your work is documentary, narrative, experimental, animation, or something in between, we'd love to see it!
Apply by July 10, 2026.
Ongoing Exhibition Proposals
We are seeking compelling solo or group exhibitions across all disciplines, including painting, sculpture, textiles, photography, digital and performance art, installation, ceramics, and more! Proposals with an immersive or participatory element are encouraged.
This is an opportunity to showcase your work within a vibrant, community-connected arts organization that values bold ideas and meaningful artistic experiences to reflect and engage our diverse community.
