Call for Artists Description:

North Van Arts is seeking art submissions for the 2026 You Are Here Calendar & Exhibitions.

North Van Arts has been producing the You Are Here calendar since 2017, as a fundraiser for the online culture map, the North Shore Culture Compass. This calendar tells the story of the region through artistically rendered images of locations, places, or scenes that are recognizably in North Vancouver or West Vancouver, on part of the territories of the Squamish Nation and Tsleil-Waututh Nation. By submitting your art, you add your voice to this story, and inspire people to imagine that You Are Here.

How to Apply:

To apply, please complete the online form linked above.

Fees/Compensation:

As this is a fundraising initiative for the North Shore Culture Compass, artists will not be paid for the use of their image or exhibition of their original work.

Chosen artists will receive 5 complimentary calendars and a complimentary North Van Arts membership as a thank you for participating.

Chosen artists will have the opportunity to sell the original artwork featured in the calendar, at 2 separate exhibitions between September 2025 and February 2026. Artists will retain 70% of any sales during these exhibitions. North Van Arts will receive a 30% administration fee.

North Van Arts will also produce a StoryMap of the Calendar art. The StoryMap shows the location that inspired the art and includes artist information, linking to artist websites.

When possible, we photograph artists at the location that inspired the artwork, sharing these images/videos on our social media platforms and email marketing with over 11,000 followers/subscribers.
