The Anonymous Art Show returns to CityScape Community ArtSpace, November 28 to December 15
Artists remain unknown until after their work sells at the North Van Arts’ fundraiser
North Van Arts presents The Anonymous Art Show from November 28 to December 15 at CityScape Community ArtSpace Gallery and online
THE ANONYMOUS ART Show is back for 2024. This is where hundreds of 8″ x 8″ one-of-a-kind artworks created by local emerging and professional artists are for sale at $100 each.
The name of the show comes from the fact that the artists remain anonymous until after their work has sold.
Works can be seen in person at CityScape Community ArtSpace from Wednesdays to Saturdays from 11 am to 5 pm, or online.
When a work sells, half of the proceeds go to the artist, while the other half goes to North Van Arts.
Funds raised go toward supporting ongoing North Van Arts’ community events and programs, such as the North Shore Art Crawl, Arts in the Garden, CityScape exhibitions, Art in the Community exhibitions, Art Rental, North Shore Culture Compass, children and youth arts education programming at Maplewood House and Mountainside Secondary, and more.
North Van Arts’ goal is to raise $40,000 this year.
