Anonymous Art Show 2016

Opening Reception:
November 17, 7 - 9:30pm


North Vancouver Community Arts Council is calling artists for their famous annual anonymous art show! 


... fostering interest and pride in cultural heritage / nvanartscouncil.ca


All the submitted artworks will be hung in lines like the picture above and none of them will have the artist's signature on the front or side of the work. The buyer will know the artist of the piece after the purchase. 

Have fun making art with 8 x 8" canvas or wood panels, you are not only creating your artwork and selling it, but also donating the half of your sale to NVCAC. How sweet is that? Artists, you are ahead of time this year if you are reading this blog article, because the deadline of submission is a little more than three months from today! 

Refer to the description of the submission process below that is an excerpt from nvartscouncil.ca

CALLING ARTISTS FOR THE 2016 ANONYMOUS ART SHOW - see the details here
Deadline for submissions:  Saturday, October 29, 2016 at 4:00pm

The artist remains a mystery until after the artwork is purchased.
 
The Anonymous Art Show is a great fundraiser and group exhibition that enables the community to support emerging artists.


All work is on unframed 8" x 8" x 1.5" canvas or wood panel. All works are $100, and the sale of each piece is divided 50/50 between the artist and the NVCAC, providing the artist an equal amount in royalties!  During this exhibition, artwork is sold right off the wall - we even wrap it for you, ready for giving!
Proceeds from this exhibition assist the NVCAC in funding many valuable programmes such as free community events and affordable art classes for all ages.
Opening night is a buzz of activity, so come early to choose your favourite work of art at a great price. The opening night is a fun event for art admirers and artists - with the thrill of buying art by a well-known artist or to discover a new favourite.
