CALLING ALL ARTISTS: ART INCOGNITO 2025
Here is your chance to be a part of an extra special art event celebrating The Beaumont Studios’ 20th Anniversary Fundraiser as we work to secure a new home for our vibrant community!
The Incognito Art Show kicks off on April 25, 2025, as part of our efforts to sustain The Beaumont and its vital role in Vancouver’s arts scene.
We’re calling on artists of all experience levels—whether you’re a seasoned creator or just rediscovering your artistic side—to contribute up to two 8×8 inch pieces in any medium you choose.
All artwork will remain anonymous until it is purchased.
This is your opportunity to support the arts, share your creativity, and help shape the future of The Beaumont Studios. Be part of this inspiring community effort—every piece makes a difference as we build toward our next chapter.
COUNTDOWN TO BUYERS NIGHT
The Incognito Art Show will be a fundraiser to support the Beaumont as part of it’s 20th Anniversary. Artists will contribute artwork to the show which will then be auctioned off for donation. Each artist will receive the option of a $25 supply stipend, or you can donate your portion back to the Beaumont. Whatever you see fit.
During the show, patrons will buy tickets varying in price which allows them access to the gallery to choose their anonymous painting! Your name and title will be put on the back of the piece so they will only know once they’ve purchased the painting. This is a really fun way to allow people to participate without needing name recognition - it’s about the art! And anyone can participate. We welcome all art types, and mediums, so long as it is wall hangable and 8x8 inches. Age limit to 14 years and up.
It doesn’t have to be painting! We will accept any visual medium, as long as it is within 8x8 in, and hangable. Paint, Pencils, Pencil Crayon, Pastels, Photography (mounted onto the canvas), Sculptural, Fabric. We are open to your creations!
