CANVAS Outdoor Museum Show is an annual art event held during the second week of November in Downtown West Palm Beach, Florida. The show was created by West Palm Beach gallerist Nicole Henry of Nicole Henry Fine Art, and serves as a public platform for visual artists in the genres of contemporary art, mural art, street art, public art, video art and site-specific installation art. The show's mission is to bring the works of international artists to public spaces for an outdoor museum experience where the artists are given the platform to create site-specific installations on public infrastructure.

The CANVAS Local Showdown was held in Northwood Village, where seven local artists competed to be on the 2016 CANVAS lineup. Artist Amanda Valdes won the competition by popular public vote on the CANVAS app.
