CANVAS is the Sunday highlight of the three-day Painter’s Palate festival. It is a free-to-the-public community Art Walk hosted on the revitalized grounds of Painter’s Lodge.

Under the new ownership of Evergreen Hospitality, the lodge has undergone extensive renovations to its facilities and property. Our primary goal is to reintroduce the Campbell River community and Vancouver Island visitors to this cultural landmark, establishing it as a premier destination for world-class hospitality and the arts.

As a vendor at CANVAS, you are a core part of our “Bottle to Brush” vision. You can expect:

Curated Audience: Direct engagement with 750+ expected guests, including attendees from our Friday and Saturday premium sessions.

Promotions: An Instagram announcement post promoting your presence at CANVAS.

We will also prepare a poster for you with a QR code linking to a page hosted on painterspalate.ca to promote your booth, including links to your website, social media, and donated raffle item.

Community: A free community shuttle service to help drive high foot traffic, dedicated vendor parking in the back gravel lot, and a high-energy festival atmosphere featuring live music, a variety of food trucks and snack vendors, and a supervised CANVAS KidZone.

We offer two distinct ways for creators and businesses to sell and interact directly with the public, as well as a unique retail opportunity in our onsite boutique.

Artisan Vendor: Independent creators selling original, handmade work such as painting, pottery, photography, textiles, and more. These spots are juried to ensure quality and variety.

Retail Art Supplier: A retail establishment doing a pop-up, or a producer of works such as screen printing, CNC woodwork of original designs, and similar products. Please inquire for details.

The General Store Consignment Opportunity: Beyond the one-day festival, we are selecting a variety of pieces and product lines to be sold on consignment within our onsite gift shop, The General Store. This allows select artists to maintain a presence at Painter’s Lodge throughout the full weekend.
