Key art poster for outdoor music & arts festival

Boreal Fest is a three-day outdoor music and arts festival in Edmonton (August). We need key art for our 2027 edition: main event poster (digital + print), and a set of web assets. The vibe is forest, fire, music, community — something people will want to frame. We print 2000 posters, so file quality matters. Past posters on our site for reference.

Oil portrait commission — family of four

We'd like a formal portrait of our family (2 adults, 2 children, ages 7 and 10) for our home. We're thinking medium format — around 24×30 inches. Oil on canvas preferred. We'd provide reference photographs and are happy to do a video call to discuss composition. No time pressure — we'd rather wait for the right artist than rush.

Looking for 2–4 pieces total.

Our new head office in Beltline has a 30ft × 14ft feature wall in the main atrium.

Children's picture book — full illustration (14 spreads)

Brand illustration suite for yoga & wellness studio

We're launching a rebrand for our 3-location Vancouver studio and need a cohesive set of illustrations: hero image for website, 3 section spot illustrations, and social media templates.

Album cover illustration for indie folk EP — 6 tracks

Our artist Juniper Lake is releasing a 6-track folk EP in September. The sound is warm, melancholy, acoustic — think late autumn, river valleys, old letters. We need a front cover illustration (3000×3000px, print-ready) and potentially a few smaller assets for streaming. No photography — illustration only. Reference: Sufjan Stevens, Adrianne Lenker album art.

$600.00 – $900.000 proposals
Mural · Montréal, Canada
Custom interior mural for downtown café — 15ft wall

We're redesigning our Westmount location and want a large mural on the main feature wall (approx 15ft × 10ft). The café has a warm, rustic feel — exposed brick, reclaimed wood, natural light. We'd love something that references Québec nature or city life, without being cliché. Open to the artist's interpretation. Preference for someone who has done interior commercial work before.

$2,000.00 – $3,500.000 proposals
