Anonymous Art Show returns for 19th year, November 25 to December 17
The artists behind hundreds of original 8” x 8” works are only revealed once a purchase is made at this fundraiser for North Van Arts
North Van Arts presents the Anonymous Art Show 2022 from November 25 to December 17 at Cityscape Community ArtSpace and online starting November 24 at 7 pm
THE ANONYMOUS ART SHOW is back for its 19th year, with more than 350 artists having created 738 original 8” x 8” artworks for North Van Art’s festive fundraiser.
The artists remain anonymous until their work sells. Once a painting is purchased, it is removed from the wall and replaced with a sold tag, revealing the artist’s name. In addition to paintings on canvas, there are 3D and multi-layered works this year.
Works go for $100 each, with the artist and North Van Arts evenly sharing the proceeds. Funds raised go toward North Van Arts’ ongoing programs and projects, including exhibition activities at CityScape Community ArtSpace, community events like the North Shore Art Crawl, and adult and youth art classes. This year’s goal is to raise $50,000.
Works are available for preview in person and online right up until the sale starts at 7 pm on November 24. It goes until 5 pm on December 17. Purchases are made online.
