About
THE PARALLEL ART SHOW by THE SALT SPRING NATIONAL ART PRIZE
The Salt Spring National Art Prize (SSNAP) is a biennial competition and exhibition of Canadian visual art, with the Finalist exhibition taking place from September 24 – October 25, 2021, at historic Mahon Hall on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.
