Shows and Events

Our 2017 Show and Sale will be held June 10 and 11 in the Centennial Pavilion at Dogwood.  This show will coincide with the annual Rose Show and Photography Show.  Mark your calendars, this is an exciting weekend at Dogwood.  Our sale is cash only but there is an ATM right across the street. Dogwood Centre is located at 1655 Winslow St., Coquitlam.  Our show is in the building behind the sports dome, very close to the corner of Winslow and Poirier.

History

Coquitlam Art Club was started in 2007 at the Dogwood Pavilion and currently has 30 active members. We meet every Wednesday afternoon at the Dogwood Pavilion to enjoy comradeship with fellow artists.

Exhibits

We have permanent exhibits at the Dogwood Pavilion west side corridor gallery, and also at the Glen Pine Pavilion 2nd floor corridor gallery. We exhibit 15 pieces of art works by our members each gallery, changed every 3 months. We also exhibit 18 pieces of small works by our members at the exhibit cabinet beside the side entrance of the Dogwood Pavilion. All of the paintings we display are for sale.
