Canvas 2026 starts tomorrow!

tomorrow! it's tomorrow! in almost 24 hours we begin!

if you haven't heard of this before-- Canvas is a yearly event grant's been running since 2023, and it's a real-time collaborative pixel canvas that runs for 48 hours, just for the Fediverse!

How do I join?

On the website you'll be able to login using fediverse-auth (it works similar to "sign in with google")

You can also test the login process directly on the site (click the emojis!)

    Omg the little hanging rainbow dash on the lower left - my art lives on! That pose was originally submitted by me to be included in the desktop ponies project in 2011.
