Bringing the festival to you.
Share your art with the world!
Join us, and perform or display your community, interactive, or other public art for all to enjoy for ten days this summer. Fill out our online form to tell us about your work, and let us know about space and other requirements. All forms of art are welcome, including performances, sculpture, projections, plant art, fibre arts--art that the community can interact with or help to create is particularly encouraged. Revolutionary art is welcome.
We will do our best to match you with a space in Quadra Village where you can perform, or your work will be displayed, along with an artist profile.
There are no fees to participate, and a share of proceeds from ticket sales will be going directly to artists!
If you need to be matched with a host, be sure to submit your art by Friday, August 21, 2020 to be included on the map!

Alter Arts Society is a registered non-profit organization and community initiative by and for artists located on the traditional territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋən people.
Those of us who are uninvited visitors to these territories, respectfully seek opportunities to unlearn oppressive, colonial practices that we have benefited from, and to follow the lead of the Indigenous stewards of these lands. We are committed to questioning existing power structures, supporting the decolonization of our society and institutions, and supporting Indigenous self-determination.
