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")
