2027 The Lantern City - Artist Call

The Lantern City is a public installation that allows art to reach a wide range of audiences.
It is also our way of building new LNY traditions, sharing stories and bringing communities together.
We are always looking to learn new stories. What’s yours?

2027 Year of the Goat – Rising Together

Canada is home to a multitude of cultures, languages, and traditions. How do we uplift each other and rise together collectively towards a future of empathy and understanding? Instead of only striving to stand out within the mosaic, we hope to invite diverse communities to share stories of resilience and joy in a celebration that includes everyone’s voices.

Our artist call is open to Canadians of all backgrounds & communities. Indigenous artists are always welcome.

New and existing works are accepted. Any inquiries can be directed to info@acsea.ca. 

Asian-Canadian Special Events Association is grateful to be held on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). We acknowledge our privilege to be gathered here, and commit to work with and be respectful to the Indigenous peoples of this land while we engage in meaningful conversations of culture and reconciliation.
