Sale Starts Now!
This weekend is the last weekend of our annual fundraiser, the Anonymous Art Show, where hundreds of 8″ x 8″ unique artworks created by local emerging and professional artists are now on sale for just $50 ( 50 % off).
The magic of this show is that each artist remains anonymous until after their artwork has sold!
What this FUNdraiser Supports
With every artwork you buy, you are supporting not only North Van Arts, a non-profit charitable organization, but local artists too.
When a work sells, the artist who created it receives 50 % of the sale, and the other 50 % goes to North Van Arts.
Funds raised for North Van Arts provide significant support to ongoing North Van Arts’ community events and programs, which enables us to continue supporting local emerging and established artists, and offer such programs and events such as:
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 so much more…
Our goal is to raise $40,000 this year. The amount we raise, will be split between the organization and the artists. Your purchase will help us reach our goal and keep the arts alive in our community.
The Anonymous Art Show is available to view both at CityScape Community ArtSpace and online, on this site (as of November 23, 11am). If you are able, visit the show in-person at CityScape Community ArtSpace, to immerse yourself in this year’s dazzling collection of art!
Our regular hours are:
Wednesday to Saturday: 11am-5pm.
CityScape Community ArtSpace is located at 335 Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver, BC.
