Hello fellow artist! It seems like you have found amidst the vast internet this drifting bottle encapsulated form. We are happy to know it finally has reached you!

As adventure or simple curiosity gets it, you might already have started sailing towards the mystical land of Vancouver Island, where this Barnacle Ink message came from… Know sailor that here, at Barnacle Ink, we would love to hear back from you!

Guest artist? Although we, as Barnacles, love to adhere to one spot until life ensues, this vessel is also open to welcoming transient crustaceans! If your soul is none less than a wondering one and you just want to float by the shop for a bit, please let Barnacle Ink know that you are looking to guest spot by filling out this form!

Resident artist? Whether you already live in or near Nanaimo, or decide to make it your home of choice; if you have a great portfolio, a great attitude, and are willing to glue yourself in, Barnacle Ink is an open vessel to your craft!

This experienced ship has docked in the fresh waters of Nanaimo in February 2022, and it is picking up steam! So whether you’re up for the long haul or a short float by, it would be a pleasure to prospectively have you join the team.

Barnacle Ink is always thrilled to receive new applications and see which talented folks might be interested. Please fill out this form, state your experience, why you think you’d be a good fit, show off your work, and Barnacle Ink will be in touch with you shortly to follow up!

(We unfortunately do not take on apprentice at the moment.)
