Local Artist Call
Help shape the walls of
Mad Hatter Bistro
Help shape the walls of Mad Hatter Bistro
This space should feel like the neighbourhood it belongs to. If your work could live on our walls, we’d love to hear from you. Selected artists will be paid and featured in the bistro.
What We’re Looking For
What belongs on these walls
We’re looking for local work that brings character, creativity, and a clear point of view to Mad Hatter Bistro. You can submit an existing piece or a new concept, as long as it feels right for the space and clearly yours.
We’re most interested in work with a personal style and a clear sense of authorship.
We’re drawn to pieces with personality — work that feels imaginative, confident, and memorable.
This is not a gallery. It’s a lively place where people gather, eat, and spend time. The work should feel alive in that environment.
Selected artists will be compensated and featured in the bistro.
How It Works
From submission to selection
Submit your idea
Tell us about your work or concept and how you see it living on the walls of the bistro. You can also include an optional sketch or sample.
We review on a rolling basis
We review submissions as they come in and may select one artist, collaborate with several, or rotate work over time depending on what we receive.
If selected, we plan it together
If your work feels like a fit, we’ll connect directly on scope, production, timing, and compensation.
Artwork will be reproduced on printed fabric panels, so final files must be high-resolution and print-ready. If needed, we can work with selected artists to digitize their work.
Submit your art concept
Share a short intro, a sample or concept, and a link to your work. We review submissions on a rolling basis.
