Opus Coquitlam Moves to Port Coquitlam

Our new store at #102A-2748 Lougheed Highway opens Thursday, August 20.

PORT COQUITLAM, B.C. — After a decade on Brunette Avenue, Opus Coquitlam is moving up the road to Port Coquitlam.

Our last day at 953 Brunette Avenue is Saturday, August 15. We'll be closed August 16 through 19 while we pack, and we open at #102A-2748 Lougheed Highway on Thursday, August 20.

Same team, same services, new address.

• Custom canvas services
• Custom and readymade picture framing
• Fine art giclée printing and card printing
• A comprehensive selection of professional and student grade art materials.
• In-store demos and the Opus Visiting Artist Series

All the brands you shop for are making the move too, from GOLDEN and Winsor & Newton through Faber-Castell and Caran d'Ache.

By transit. The new store sits at Lougheed Highway and Westwood Street, a short walk from Lincoln Station on the Millennium Line. Coquitlam Central is close by, where the SkyTrain, the West Coast Express and a major bus exchange all connect. The R3 RapidBus, the 701 from Maple Ridge and a dozen local routes stop within a few minutes' walk.

If you don't drive, you can now reach us easier without a vehicle. 

By car. There's plenty of parking in the shopping centre, and the lot is easy to pull into and out of.

On your way somewhere else. We're right on Lougheed with a coffee shop and everyday errands in the same plaza, and Coquitlam Centre a few minutes away. Easy to fold into a trip you're already making.

The new store sits on the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam line. That keeps us near the artists who've shopped with us on Brunette for years, and puts us within reach of Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge in a way we haven't been before. We're looking forward to serving everyone with this convenient new location.

Ten years on that corner gave us a lot. Regulars we know by name. Kids who came in for their first set of paints and now come in for professional oils. It's amazing growing with the community.

We'll miss the murals most. "Artful Connections" by Arty Guava and "Inspired Community" by Angie Coates made that corner unmistakable for the last couple years, and made people feel welcome before they'd even walked through the door. Thank you to both artists and the City of Coquitlam for their work on these murals.

Leaving is bittersweet. We're taking the part that matters with us.
