The Papercut Arcade Collective was formed with the intention of running interactive events, workshops and exhibitions. We aim to produce art and games, share and inspire each other through creative challenges, and to create safer spaces to explore creativity and art with like-minded folks.
Our collective strives to be a creative group for people of all races, abilities, identities, and levels of education. We wish to respectfully acknowledge that we host events and play as uninvited guests on the stolen (unceded), ancestral, and traditional territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples.
Duality: A Collaborative Effort
A public salon of only collaborative works by 2 or more artists, exploring the theme “Duality.” Applications for exhibiting are open now.
Artist application deadline: October 15th
Exhibition date: December 19th
