Anonymous Art Show

ORGANIZATION: North Van Arts

DEADLINE: October 8, 2025

WEBSITE: https://northvanarts.ca/events-exhibitions/anonymous-art-show-call-for-artists/

CALL FOR ARTISTS:
The Anonymous Art Show is North Van Arts’ annual fundraising event, where hundreds of 8″ x 8″ unique artworks created by local emerging and professional artists are sold for $120 each. This is a wonderful first exhibition for community members, as the artwork is only slightly juried. If an artist submits only one piece, it will be in the exhibition as long as it meets submission requirements.

The magic of this show is that each artist remains anonymous until after their work has sold. Participating artists sign only the back of the canvas to keep their identity hidden. Once a painting is purchased, it is removed from the wall, revealing the artist’s name to the buyer.

HOW TO APPLY:

FEES/COMPENSATION:
There is a non-refundable participation fee of $12 per artwork. Artists set no price for their work, as all pieces are sold for $120. The proceeds are split 50/50: $60 goes to the artist and $60 supports North Van Arts’ programming.
