Selected Artists will gain exposure by having their work viewed by thousands of Theatre patrons as well as the opportunity to sell their pieces.

The theatres are a gathering place for people who come to see the creative and dynamic work of some of the best Theatre Companies and Festivals in Canada such as the Vancouver International Writers Festival, Carousel Theatre and the Vancouver International Jazz Festival. With an estimated 70,000 people visiting the theatres every year, it becomes an essential space for Canadian Artists to showcase their work.
