1000 Fish Online Art Exhibition

Collecting colorful fish and memories

What is this about? 
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the Vancouver Aquarium, home to over 70,000 incredible animals and a great place of learning and inspiration in our community, faces permanent closure. To support the aquarium and to encourage more people to help keep the aquarium afloat, I created the 1000 Fish Art Exhibition. My goal is to collect 1000 fish, 1000 stories, and hopefully $1000 in donation for our beloved Aquarium.

How  to Join? 

Make a fish with whatever medium you want. Paint it, draw it, collage it, sculpt it...you name it! Take a good picture of your work and submit it to                                                                           along with your name (if you want) and a sentence describing your favorite memory about the aquarium. I will be uploading artwork and stories to the collection everyday.

Who Can Join? 

It's for everyone of course--Kids, adults, artists, non-artists...

Let's do something fun and meaningful during our quarantine and support the Aquarium and its animals!

Help keep the Aquarium afloat with a donation. Any amount is appreciated!

Donate

Join our fundraiser in support of the Aquarium and their animals!

If we could donate even $ 1 for every fish, we will reach our goal when the fish tank is full .

(All donation to the 1000 fish fundraising page goes directly to the Aquarium. Donation over $20 will get instant tax receipt.)
