The Online Federation Showcase is an online-only exhibition that highlights the diverse range of work being created by FCA member artists, across Canada.  This is a great opportunity for collectors to see works from artists near and far, as the online only component eliminates the cost of shipping for most artists.  Featuring both two dimensional and sculpture works, you'll see a beautiful collection of pieces in this showcase, including one of mine 'Once Upon A Time In Kelowna'.  This is my latest painting, which I finished last month.  I decided to mark mine as 'not available for sale' to give me the opportunity to exhibit and sell it locally this summer.

25 Nov 2021 - 18 Dec 2021 Anonymous Art Show Category: Show/Exhibit Price: 100.00 Fund Raiser Event Event Website: https://northvanarts.ca/events-exhibitions/anonymous-art-show-2021-online-fundraiser-and-sale/ Venue: CityScape Community Art Space, Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver, BC, Canada
North Van Arts are thrilled to have over 800 submitted artworks this year, including 3 of my paintings.  All artworks will be available to view in person at the gallery and for sale online.  The proceeds from the sales provide significant support to ongoing North Van Arts programmes and projects while also supporting and showcasing local upcoming and established artists.  The magic of the show is that the artist remains anonymous until after their work has sold.  Participating artists are required to sign only the back of the canvas to keep their identity unknown.  Once a painting is purchased, it is removed from the wall and replaced with a sold tag, revealing the artists name... will you be able to guess which are mine?

Artworks will be in the gallery to view in person, at CityScape Community Artspace during the following Preview Days: 

Saturday November 20, 10am-5pm
Monday November 22, 9am-8pm 
Tuesday November 23, 9am-8pm 
Wednesday November 24, 9am-5pm 
Thursday November 25, 9am-5pm

Note that the above dates are for preview only, purchasing won't start until the online Sale Days:

Online sale begins:  Thursday November 25 at 7pm
Online sale ends: Saturday December 18 at 5pm

Last year's online success was quite overwhelming for North Van Arts and for the artists, as 80% of the paintings sold within the first few hours of the sale opening online.  I was delighted to have sold all three of mine in the first 5 minutes.
