How does your work explore the idea of being in motion? What do you think of when you hear the words ‘In Motion’? Selected works will be securely displayed in the Poirier branch of Coquitlam Public Library from Sunday, September 27 – Sunday, Nov. 22, 2026, giving artists a unique opportunity to showcase their work to the Tri-Cities community.
