Applications Closed for 2024 Winter Arts Festival
We are seeking artists to participate in the 2024 Winter Arts Festival.
VMF Winter Arts is a free, all-ages festival transforming downtown Victoria and Vancouver
into an open-air gallery and celebration of art, lights, and entertainment.
FEB 16 - 19, 2024 | VICTORIA
MAR 1 - 3, 2024 | VANCOUVER
Winter Arts Festival will transform outdoor spaces in Victoria and Vancouver into open-air galleries and celebration featuring 3D art, light projections, digital and augmented reality, laser animations, and more.
2024 THEME: LIGHT AND LANGUAGE
The Winter Arts Festival spotlights the fusion of light, language and technology in captivating light-based public art. In the darkest season, light serves as a vital form of communication, conveying warnings and radiating warmth while creating spaces for reflection and storytelling. Amidst the daily urban backdrop of neon signs, street names, and plaques, the 2024 Winter Arts Festival sharpens its focus on the intersection of communication, technology, and illumination, unveiling the stories woven in Victoria and Vancouver's historic alleyways and streets.
