Call to Artists
We invite you to join us in celebrating Canada's 150th, along the Trans-Canada Highway, creating art just as we are doing. Pick one or more of our stops along the Trans-Canada and use what you find there as the subject and inspiration for a work of art. Send us a photo of the scene and of your finished piece. Even better, send us a photo of yourself at the scene! All work will appear on our Contributing Artists page and it will also be shown digitally at our gallery exhibitions provided it adheres to the requirements listed below. We would absolutely love to see as many interpretations and visions of Canada as possible!
