Why Canvas Call.
There was no grand plan. Just a thought that kept returning.
What if there was a space—quiet, welcoming—where artists, especially the lesser-known ones, could just show up with their work… and be seen?
I’ve been part of the art world long enough to know that talent alone doesn’t always get the spotlight. Sometimes, it’s timing. Sometimes, it’s access. And sometimes, it’s just luck.
Canvas Call is my way of shifting that a little.
It’s not a competition to chase fame. It’s a gentle invitation—to bring your work out from your mind, transfer them to paper, and breathe in the open. To let others see what you see.
You don’t need to be ready. Just willing.
