DISPLAY YOUR ART AT THE VAC - Art on the Wall Project

The Vancouver Arts Centre Art on the Walls project has expanded and is now open to all visual artists in the Great Southern Community aged 18 years and over. 

The Art on the Walls project aims to support and promote the work of Great Southern artists both emerging and established by giving them the opportunity to display their work in the Arts Centre and assist them with artwork sales (should they wish to list their work for sale).

2D and 3D works are both welcomed.
