2026 ARTIST APPLICATION

Application’s are now open for the 2026 Delta Studio Stomp

Applications Close on June 30, 2026

The Delta Studio Stomp is an artist run annual studio tour event. It is a fantastic way to meet the art lovers in your area and share your passion for your work with them. In addition for the opportunity to sell your work the Stomp is a great way to connect in person with possible new collectors, build your mailing list, share your process and talk about your art with an engaged & supportive audience.

This years tour is taking place the weekend of September 19 & 20 and coincidences with the opening weekend of Culture Days which are being launched provincially in Delta this year! It is going to be a fantastic opportunity to raise the visibility of the arts in our communities!

Eligibility

Open Studio Locations

• Have a studio located in the Delta Communities of Ladner, North Delta or Tsawwassen that you can open up to the public for the weekend
• Have a artist friend with a studio in North or South Delta who wants to share their space with you for the stomp
• Are a non-profit creative organization or club with a physical space located in Delta

Hub Locations – Tsawwassen Art Centre and the North Delta Centre for the Arts

Don’t have a studio space but you still want to participate? No problem. The Stomp provides hub locations for artists who do not have studios they can open up to the general public. These locations work much like art markets where you can show and sell your work as well as hold in person demos.

To be eligible for a hub location you just need to be a working artist living in the Greater Vancouver Area.
