Show Begins in

Square Foot Show began as a small, annual art party at Julia Veenstra’s studio in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada—each piece just 12×12 and at a single price. Since 2020, it has exploded into an online “Black Friday of art,” with collectors and artists spanning the globe and many artists selling out in just minutes. We love nothing more than connecting thousands of collectors from across the world with incredible artwork from artists they might never otherwise encounter, all through our fun and fast-paced virtual shows.

The fun continues with May’s Trees show,  featuring a roster of 30 incredible artists selected by our jury of fellow artists and collectors. What’s more, we’ll be planting 10 Trees for Every Artwork Purchased! Held on the 2nd Thursday of each month for 24 hours, these shows bring bold, curated collections to life in an exciting and fast-paced format. We recognize that current events make multi-national events like this complicated. To help bring clarity, we’ve increased transparency around the origin of artwork and have written a brief letter on cross-border challenges.

Join the fun! Subscribe today for a chance to win an original painting by Julia Veenstra!

🇨🇦 Janet Horne Cozens (@janethornecozensart) began studying art at the age of two in Japan. Her love of art continued after her family immigrated to Northern Ontario in the early 1960s. After graduating from the University of Toronto with a degree in Music Performance, she returned as an adult student to the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD) to study Fine Art with a specialty in figure drawing and painting. Over the past three decades, she has worked in printmaking, mixed media, and painting, in genres from portraiture to printmaking and more recently, the landscapes of Northern Ontario, where she grew up. She continues to be experimental in her works, exploring and pushing the media in new and radical ways, often as a commentary on the issue of climate change. See more at: www.janethornecozens.com
🇨🇦 Jean Grady (@jeanmgrady) is a London-based artist who captures the rugged allure of the big open skies, lakes, and trees of the Ontario landscape with a distinctive impressionistic style. Her passion for painting began at an early age and was kindled through a blend of workshops and university courses, but to a large degree, she is self-taught. After a rewarding career as a teacher while raising five children on her own, Jean is now able to devote her energy to her passion for painting. She is mesmerized by the intricate patterns of light and shadow in the woods and the sky’s reflections on the surface of the water. Jean paints from personal connections and experiences, often framing her paintings from her perspective in a kayak, giving the viewer a chance to feel like they, too, are on the water. She prefers acrylics for the freedom to maintain a fresh style with vivid colours and a broad value range, enabling her to create art that is joyful, full of bold harmonies and detailed with a whimsical touch of magic. Her goal is to touch on subjects and experiences that bring forth a memory or a feeling, connecting the viewer with the image. Jean hopes her paintings give people a feeling of joy and peace. Her paintings can be found in corporate and individual collections across North America. See more at: jgrady36.wixsite.com/jeangradyart
🇨🇦 Jen Vandenbroek (@jenvandenbroek.art) is a contemporary impressionist figurative painter. Her work explores how people revel in the world around them; where joy is found at the intersection of the natural world, our personal passions, and in our varied relationships with each other. Her expressive use of color emphasizes the emotional intensity behind the human experience of playful movement and deep connection. Jen has lived and worked as an art teacher and artist throughout the US and now her cherished current (and childhood) home of Calgary, AB. See more at: www.jenvandenbroek.com
🇨🇦 Jennifer Caie (@jennifercaieart) is a professional artist who lives and works in Dryden, Ontario. She is a member of the Society of Canadian Artists and the Federation of Canadian Artists. Caie explores the wild areas of Northwestern Ontario, spending a part of each day gathering inspiration and painting what was experienced. Jennifer is drawn to our Canadian landscapes, taking in the untamed scenes by camera to bring back to her studio. She enjoys the push and pull of different techniques in acrylic when painting on canvas and wood. She holds acrylic technique workshops in communities. See more at: www.jennifercaieart.ca
