Canvas Pontiac

Event History

Now in its 8th year Canvas Pontiac brings art and culture to downtown Pontiac. Artists are invited to submit their art to be one of 25 finalists to have their art displayed on enormous 8ft x 10ft canvasses throughout the downtown area. Canvas Pontiac inspires the community to get involved. The vision is to be an international program. Last year our call for artists was seen by over 1000 people. The contest pulls artists from as far away as Florida and Arizona, as well as those right here in our own neighborhoods. Everyone can be connected to Pontiac, so if you know of an artist who would be interested, but is not in the local area, SPREAD THE WORD!

What Makes this event different?

Last year's programs invited over 500 people to walk our downtown on several tours to explore what we have to offer, and the art we display is seen daily by 18,000 commuters. Canvas Pontiac's art awakening is doing its job in helping people "Discover the Spirit of Pontiac".
