ArtWalk in the Square Pop-Up Gallery

When: August 10 – 12, 2018

Where: Shops at Don Mills

Application Deadline: July 20, 2018, midnight

The Artists’ Network is committed to providing exhibition opportunities for our member artists. We appreciate that there are artists who either live too far away to participate in ArtWalk in the Square or have vacation plans for August. For this reason, we have created a NEW opportunity for artists to participate. We will have an Artists’ Network Gallery booth attached to the Artists’ Network information booth. This show will be presented in salon style. This show will be juried by the Artists’ Network for submission. Space is limited: Artists’ Network member will be given priority.

ArtWalk in the Square is a juried show featuring ONLY fine art. With over 75 established and emerging artists exhibiting painting, photography, mixed media, printmaking, drawing, glass and sculpture, this show continues to grow and increase its audience. We have partnered with Cadillac Fairview to host and promote this show and they tracked over 25,000 unique visitors/day last year.

CF Shops at Don Mills is where fashion, dining and entertainment come outside to play. Visit Ontario’s first and finest open air centre with exceptional shops, restaurants and services surrounding a lovely Town Square. With no other major art shows north of Bloor and many new developments in the area, this is a great place to expand your exposure and promote your work.
