The Anonymous Art Show

The Abbotsford Arts Council is pleased to announce the return of our community favourite fundraiser, The Anonymous Art Show which opens this Saturday November 4th, 2023. This show will be hosted both in person and online on the Abbotsford Arts Council website:
abbotsfordartscouncil.com

​Opening reception will be held on November 4th from 12-2pm at the Kariton Gallery. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Doors open at 11am for early bird viewing. In person sales start at 12pm and online sales will open at 3pm.



About the show:
The Anonymous Art Show showcases art that is submitted anonymously by members of the community
– from emerging artists to seasoned professionals – to be featured and sold in an exhibition in support of the arts. The show enables the community to support emerging artists and gives the buyer an opportunity to take home an artist’s original work at an affordable price!

How much do the paintings cost?
Each piece displayed in the show is on a 12”x 12”x 1.5″ canvas* and will be sold at $100 each. Fifty percent of the proceeds go right to the artist, and the remaining fifty percent stays with the Abbotsford Arts Council to help us support the arts (and those who create it) and fund valuable programs like free community events, exhibition space, arts initiatives and much more!

*Due to a local shortage of canvases in the correct size, some works may be on canvases of a shallower
depth, but all are 12″×12″.

When will the artists names be revealed?
When a piece is purchased, the work will be marked as sold and the artist’s name displayed. The Abbotsford Arts Council will announce each participating artist on Instagram @karitonartgallery as their work is sold.

When can I pick up my painting after purchasing?
Purchased paintings can be taken home immediately (we will endeavour to add more paintings as pieces are sold) or picked up from the Kariton Art Gallery (2387 Ware Street, Abbotsford) during opening hours.
