There is no expectation on how many paintings you are to display at Art Vancouver, some artists come with a single painting, while others bring as many as possible. It depends on your intention, as some artists are showcasing only, while others wish to sell as many paintings as possible at the show (e.g. exhibitors provide enough pieces to fill every space on the wall).

This depends on booth size, walls must not be cluttered. Our team will attend each booth during setup, if your walls are too crowded, we will ask you to remove some pieces.

Booth numbers will be provided closer to the event.

We have live demonstrations where you can finish the piece in front of a great audience! There are no unfinished works to be displayed in our exhibitor booths, therefore participating in the live demonstration allows you to showcase your talent and artistic process with the unfinished piece. Also, it is advised to showcase original artwork and not prints.

Each exhibitor will be given a specific time to set-up. One to two days before the event.

Are you considering a career as a professional artist? Art Vancouver presents numerous chances for your work to be discovered by international collectors and galleries, as well as an excellent networking platform.

It is recommended that you either secure your own booth or share a space at the event. To showcase your work, you should prepare a series of pieces, which can be either a collection of one style or individual works. Each piece should be titled and accompanied by a name tag indicating the title, size, medium, year, and artist name.

There is a formula to price your work, it can vary on the size, mediums, and your name. Research similar artists who are in approximately the same place in their career. Using their selling prices, determine an average price per square inch and see how that would apply to your artwork. Unit prices for smaller works would often be priced slightly higher and larger works slightly lower.

To be scheduled in the programming throughout the weekend please have your application in by February 1st, 2024. To exhibit in Art Vancouver please apply by March 1, 2024.
