Be Involved In The Arts
For the Artists
The CALL FOR ARTISTS program happens each year starting in early February. Artists submit their art digitally to the CanvasPontiac.com website.
In years past, we’ve accepted flat art that photographs well for enlargements on large scale canvases. This year look for additional mediums to be accepted.
Imagine your piece enlarged to an 8 foot x 10-foot canvas in landscape or portrait on the side of a building in Downtown Pontiac to be seen by cars driving by and people passing by. Be it a brick or concrete or painted facade, there are blank canvases waiting for your art.
For the Community

Get the Map. Enjoy the art currently on public display and available free to the public to enjoy. Take a walking (or driving) tour of Downtown Pontiac
