Squamish Arts invites artists of all levels to participate in their 2025 Anonymous Art Show, a unique fundraising exhibition opening November 4 at the Brackendale Art Gallery. This annual event features artwork created on special cedar rounds, with each piece sold anonymously until after purchase, creating an intriguing mystery for buyers and equal opportunity for all artists regardless of experience level.

Artists can purchase cedar rounds for $10 at various local events throughout September and early October. The exhibition runs from November 4 to December 2, with an opening reception and sneak peek on November 4 from 7-9 PM.
