Anonymous Show Gala Opening 2017
100 Braid St Studios
Wednesday, October 25
7:00-10:00pm

By Ticket Only – Register here

For CALL TO ARTISTS CLICK HERE

In celebration of International Artist Day we invite you to the 100 Braid St Anonymous Art Show Gala Opening. This exclusive event will allow you first choice of the amazing and diverse art and media from the artists participating in the show.  Perhaps we should have called it the “not so anonymous” show because we’re going to let you know some of the artists who are participating on our Instagram and Facebook pages (and if you’re a fan of their work they’ll let you know themselves) but it will be up to you to identify their work if you want to purchase it! Call it a huge treasure hunt…..

We will be hanging 1-3 works of art from each artist but who created the pieces will remain a mystery until after the artwork is purchased. Buyers will be able to have their piece wrapped and take it home that night. A sold tag will be put in place revealing the artists name.

All art work is unframed 12″ x 12″.  There will be oil and acrylic paintings but we have also expanded to textile art and mixed media pieces.

Each piece is priced at $150 with $100 going directly to the artists themselves; the remainder will go to Camp Kerry Society to provide art supplies and therapy to bereaved children and families and to cover basic costs of the show.

We will announce all artists and buyers (if you wish) on our Instagram @100braidst_art, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

While the focus of our Gala is on the art we are delighted to have Chef Bain Van Dam and his team at Fork & Knife Catering create a menu of handcrafted hor d’oeuvres exclusively for our event. Each single ticket will also include a glass of locally sourced wine or beer and couples tickets will include one glass for each person.

$150 Single Registration (with $100 patron coupon towards purchase of art of your choice)
$200 Couple registration (with $100 patron coupon towards purchase of art of your choice)

Due to capacity restrictions ticket holders only will be admitted. Purchase tickets here.

BRAID IS READY FOR THE CRAWL! We’ve had our eye o BRAID IS READY FOR THE CRAWL!

We’ve had our eye on this weekend for quite some time. 😉 The artists of Braid Studios have taken over the entrance to our building with a collection of wonderfully weird, colourful, completely one-of-a-kind eyes and we LOVE how it turned out.

This weekend, we’re opening our doors for the New West Cultural Crawl, and there is a LOT happening at Braid.

Come find us at 321 Sixth Street, Stop #15.  Visit the UHaul Rolling Gallery on Blackford right next to the Studios. Come inside to check out our new main floor collaborative Gallery and storefront, and them upstairs to discover artist studios, exhibitions, special projects and a building positively stuffed with creativity.

And yes, the eyes are watching for you. 👁️

Introducing the Braid Studios Book Club — books fo Introducing the Braid Studios Book Club — books for creative lives.

For our first seasonal read, we’ll be exploring Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking by David Bayles and Ted Orland.

This thoughtful and reassuring book looks at why art gets made, why it sometimes doesn’t—and the very human fears, doubts and difficulties that can cause artists to lose their way.

Hosted by Braid artist Jennie Johnston @jenniejohnstonartist the Book Club will gather every second Wednesday for relaxed, thoughtful conversation about the book and the realities of building and sustaining a creative life.

Our first gathering on October 7 will be an informal meet-and-greet: a chance to meet Jennie and the other members, learn more about the book and settle into the reading journey together.

Wednesdays | 6:30–8:30 PM
October 7 & 21
November 4 & 18
December 2

The complete five-gathering series is free, but advance registration is required and space is limited to 10 participants.

Participants will need their own copy of Art & Fear. A reading schedule will be provided at the first gathering.

THE BRAID ROLLING GALLERY IS BACK AND IT’S GROWN. THE BRAID ROLLING GALLERY IS BACK AND IT’S GROWN.

Last year, we rolled art out of the studio and onto the street for the first time.

This year, we’re doing it bigger.

For the 2026 New West Cultural Crawl, four U-Haul trucks will become pop-up galleries along Blackford Street outside Braid Studios, creating an unexpected outdoor art experience right in the heart of New Westminster.

We’re thrilled to welcome back Braid alumni Tony Durke and Iris Mes Low @this.iris.paints and to welcome three artists to the Rolling Gallery for the first time: Tyler Prue @heartfireforge Nickie Lewis @thewizardsmakery and Elina Daoutov @elinadaoutovaart 

Five artists. Four trucks. Five very different creative practices; from painting and sculpture to ceramics and mixed media.

The Braid Rolling Gallery began with a simple idea: when you run out of gallery walls, find more walls.

Or, apparently, rent trucks.

It became one of our favourite parts of last year’s Cultural Crawl, and we’re delighted to bring it back — bigger, bolder and with even more artists.

The Braid Rolling Gallery
Outside Braid Studios on Blackford Street
321 Sixth Street, New Westminster
October 3 & 4, 2026 | 11 AM–5 PM

Come wander the trucks, meet the artists, discover work you haven’t seen before and then head inside Braid Studios, where even more is waiting.

We’re excited to bring this unusual gallery experience back to New Westminster and to share it with art lovers from across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

A huge thank you to the artists who came out today, picked up a paintbrush and helped bring this slightly bonkers idea to life. We cannot wait to see what it looks like when they’re all together.
