CALL FOR ARTISTS

Canvas exists to empower makers of all kinds by providing platforms for them to showcase and share their creative work with the world. One of those platforms is our Gallery space at 109 W Stone Ave. Artists are invited to submit their 2-d art for consideration for solo and group shows. Artist’s will be given the opportunity to: show and sell their original work in a thriving community space, be featured on our whole bean coffee bags, sell prints and smaller art ‘giftables’, be featured on our website and in our monthly newsletter and social media, participate in First Friday’s, and host reception and/or workshop in the evening. Details for each show will be worked out between the artist(s) and the Canvas Art Director. We offer artists the unique experience of benefitting from the support of a gallery, with the foot traffic and daily buzz of a thriving coffee shop.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis for upcoming solo and group show opportunities below:
