Canvas 2026 has concluded!
Thank you all for participating, it’s been a blast as always! 💜
Canvas 2026 ran from July 18th @ 4am UTC - July 20th @ 4am UTC
Feedback & Future Events
Hope you enjoyed the event as much as I and the moderators did! If you have any feedback, feature requests, or really anything, drop it in this thread (include any fun event ideas you have as well!)
Canvas Prints ✨
Bringing the Canvas prints back this year, but only for like 2 weeks. Once August 1st rolls around, the shop will close again. (You’ll also be able to buy any previous year’s prints)
International shipping is a pain, so this year the shop will only let you checkout with an address in the United States. But! if you are wanting to get a print, but are not in the US, fill out this form and I’ll see what I can do :)
Source
Just as always, Canvas is an open source project! If you want to take a peek at the code, report and issue directly to the tracker, or even contribute yourself, the source is available on sc07.dev
You can register either with your Fediverse account, or with an email and password. Unfortunately due to a lot of casino bots, registration is behind an approval queue. Send an email to [email protected] if you’d like to ensure I see it

Canvas 2026 is in one week!
Hello Fediverse! I’ve come bearing some great news, Canvas 2026 starts in one week!
What?
If you haven’t heard, Canvas is a collaborative pixel event that runs yearly, exclusively for the Fediverse. You will have 48 hours to make your mark on an art piece, one pixel at a time. This year the pixel cooldown will be 30 seconds flat, but you can stack up 6 pixels at a time so you don’t have to wait ages for pixels.
How do I login?
When you login to Canvas it’ll prompt you to identify yourself using fediverse-auth, which involves sending a DM to your account to verify who you are (or logging in with your client of choice, if your app supports it)
Try it out on the Canvas homepage using the emojis

Direct Donations
If you would like to directly donate to Canvas w/o making any purchases, I accept donations via Stripe 💜
(i wasn’t clear on the stripe page that the fediverse handles would be public, so this is a placeholder until i get confirmation they all want it public or not)
Support
If you are having issues with the website, send an email to hello@sc07.company
Database Dump
the old system for pixel placement logs was flawed, and someone suggested the brilliant idea of just publishing the database dump, it already has all the information anyway
no ip addresses, or ban logs only pixel placements (with username), pixel moderation logs and palette settings
https://cdn.sc07.company/canvas/2024/canvas-stripped.sql.txt
the event has concluded! thank you all for participating!
this has been incredibly fun to run, as it was last year (although there was a bit more hiccups this time around)
⚠ Crossposters: link back to this post as it will be updated with more information ⚠
Event date: July 12th, 2024 @ 4am UTC til July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 hours) July 16th @ 4am UTC (72 hours + 24 hours) (it was extended due to a massive performance issue that caused major downtime)
Future events
I’m planning to host another one next year, so stay tuned 👀
If you have suggestions for canvas 2025 or any other events, post them in this post (thanks Ategon)
Supporting the project 💜💜💜
I have spent a little over 6 months completely rebuilding Canvas from the ground up to support future features, and i would love to work on more fediverse events
poster sales
posters of the final canvas will be sold, if you would like to stay updated with information on those, follow the Mastodon account or send an email to hello@sc07.company 💜
the shop site will also include stickers for the following instances:
- mastodon.world
- lemmy.world
- blahaj.zone
- toot.community
- toast.ooo
- Canvas 2024
✨ I wanted to have the shop setup before the event ending, but i couldn’t get it setup quick enough unfortunately
EDIT: Shop is now live!
direct donations
Donating via Stripe is the best way to donate directly
contributing to the code
canvas is open-source and is on a self-hosted gitlab instance at https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas
at time of writing; the gitlab server randomly restarts due to resource limits
Timelapses
i need to rewrite the timelapse script as some people pointed out some weirdness with the other ones (that’s also what delayed this post by almost 3 hours)
Data
Database dump: (48mb) https://cdn.sc07.company/canvas/2024/canvas-stripped.sql.txt
Contains pixel placements, canvas moderation actions, and palette colors no IP addresses
chat.fediverse.events
This will stay up as long as i can keep it running for, i’ll make some improvements eventually as well
tools (like a canvas atlas)
if anyone is wanting to build something for canvas, i’d be willing to host the project & give it a subdomain of .fediverse.events
just send me a matrix dm, a dm on discord (grahhnt) or an email hello@sc07.company
Special thanks
