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 July’s East Coast Vibes show,  featuring a roster of more than 30 incredible artists selected by headliner and co-founder Julia Veenstra. 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.

🇨🇦 Megan Parker (@meganparker_artist) is a visual artist from Canmore, Alberta. Using acrylic paint, she creates modern, contemporary landscapes with bold and flowing lines that capture the movement in the landscape, mostly featuring scenes from her hiking and camping adventures with her family.

When 🇨🇦 Barbara Reade (@bdreade_art) was a very young child, well before she began kindergarten, she knew she was an artist. While on family vacations at the seashore, she remembers entertaining anyone who happened to stroll by on the beach with larger-than-life drawings, using whatever materials that were lying nearby to create bold marks in the sand. Barbara distinctly recalls thinking that this was what she was born to do. Becoming an artist wasn’t a conscious decision; it was just who she was. Fast forward several years to New York City, where Barbara studied Illustration at Parsons School of Design. Her career after graduation took a few interesting twists and turns, starting with a brief stint working at a Toronto art gallery, followed by several years as a retail business owner and as a teacher. In 2018, she circled back to her childhood passion of creating art daily in her beautiful light-filled studio by the lake, fully embracing the artist life. Every painting that Barbara makes begins with play. Never knowing where a piece is headed keeps her studio practice fresh and unpredictable. One of Barbara’s goals as an artist is to keep exploring and pushing her limits, whether that be with materials, scale, or new techniques. Barbara’s recent series of floral-inspired paintings is more about the feelings evoked by flowers, rather than a literal representation. This allows the viewer to make their own connections. Instead, they’re all about colour, gestural brush marks, and luscious swoops of thick paint that remind us of balmy summer days, fragrant breezes, and gardens in full bloom. Barbara’s paintings hang in private and corporate collections throughout North America and the Bahamas, and have appeared in both solo and group shows. See more at: barbarareade.com
🇨🇦 Margot Roi (@margotroiart) is a Canadian abstract artist who has been exhibiting her artwork for over 35 years in galleries, art fairs, and major shows such as the One of a Kind (OOAK) in Toronto and the Toronto Artist Project. She holds an Arts/Technology Degree from Sheridan College, an Honours Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Windsor, and a Bachelor of Education from Nipissing University. Margot has received numerous provincial and regional awards for her work as a visual artist. Margot says: “I paint to remember joyous moments. I aim to establish emotional bridges, each one a reference to the places I’ve travelled, recalled settings, or the forms in nature I’ve found unique. I paint energetically to capture memories that form the essence of my sense of identity. Acrylic paint and stick media become the narrative for intuitive compositions that guide my colour choices. I view my canvas as a container for these intrinsic experiences. I’m inviting the viewer to wander through my responsive recollections and make connections to their own memories of place.” See more at: margotroiart.com
🇨🇦 Miriam Slan (@miriamslanart) is a Canadian acrylic painter who celebrates her inspiration from both landscapes and gardens with an unabashed love of colour. She captures her response to the world around her with an adventurous, contemporary freedom, exploring seasonal colour variations, textures, abstract patterns, and reflections. Through gestural brushstrokes, bold colours, and strong value contrasts, Miriam seeks to evoke an emotional response in the viewer as she continues to push the boundaries of expression.
