UNITED IN CANVAS - 120 years of Claessens Canvas
Contribute to a work of art that will travel around the world.
In 2026, Claessens will celebrate its 120th anniversary. We want to celebrate this in a way that has never been done before, with one large, collective work of art created by 120 artists and gallery owners from our community. The result will be an installation that symbolizes connection. United in Canvas.
Join in and receive a free Claessens canvas
We will select 120 participants from our MyClaessens community. They will receive a canvas with a special anniversary label from us. On that canvas, you will create a work based on the central theme of UNITED.
Your work will then be:
- added to the large physical installation in 2026
- included in the digital world version that we distribute internationally
- shared via our Claessens channels
- seen by thousands of artists and gallery owners
- part of 120 years of history
Why we need you
Our community is the heart of Claessens. You create art that touches, that travels, that connects generations. This project is therefore a tribute to your work, your stories, and your creativity.
How it works
Submit your application via this link, briefly telling us why you want to participate and what UNITED means to you. We will select 120 artists from the applicants. They will receive a free canvas delivered to their home. You will create your work on this canvas, in your own style. You will post the result in your gallery and also send the physical work back to us to add it to the physical installation.
ith 120 canvases from all corners of the world, we will create a single image that shows that art connects people and stories connect people.
This will be our biggest community action ever, and you can be part of it.
