KANVAS Artist Assistant Program

In addition to the Breakout Artist Grants, you can apply to act as an artist assistant for the amazing headliners we have coming to KANVAS Festival. This is a fantastic opportunity to get an inside look and experience with the process of making large-scale street art while improving your artistic network and skills.
