About the show
The Anonymous Art Show showcases art that is submitted anonymously by members of our community – from emerging artists to seasoned professionals – to be featured and sold in an exhibition in support of the arts.

The show enables our community to support emerging artists and gives interested buyers 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 directly 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 to 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 should still be 12″ L ×12″ W.

When will the artists names be revealed?
When a piece is purchased, the work will be marked as sold and the artist’s name will be 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 (the Abbotsford Arts Council will endeavour to add more paintings as pieces are sold). Alternatively, purchased paintings can also be picked up from the Kariton Art Gallery (2387 Ware Street, Abbotsford) anytime during operational hours (Thursday – Saturday, 11:00am – 3:00pm).
