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 show “Awaken” featuring Dionne Woods and a roster of 27 incredible artists selected by Dionne and our jury of artists and collectors. 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 Dionne Woods!

Julia Veenstra
🇨🇦 Julia Veenstra (@jveenstraartist) is a renowned Canadian artist and entrepreneur known for her lively composition and vibrant use of colour. Having lived in various countries through her life, Julia incorporates diverse influences into her impressionistic and representational style—it’s no surprise, then, that her work is found in collections across the globe. She chooses acrylic as her medium of expression due to its immediacy and the ability to create bright and vivid colours.

Julia’s artistic journey has led her to focus on capturing the vivid landscapes of her native Canada, for which she has gained national recognition, including a feature on the coveted Royal Winter Fair poster. As an entrepreneur, she’s made a significant impact on thousands of artists and collectors worldwide through initiatives like Square Foot Show, Artlabel, and her new gallery, Crown and Press. You can often find Julia in her studio, a converted garage, at her home on Beach Boulevard in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada!

🇺🇸 Renee Smith (@rainy.day.vintage) is a Missouri-based artist and the founder of Rainy Day Vintage by Renee. Working primarily in acrylics, she creates layered, painterly works known for their depth, movement, and oil-like finish.

Her work explores themes of transformation, presence, and the beauty found in life’s in-between moments. Influenced by faith, symbolism, and vintage aesthetics, her paintings invite sustained viewing and a personal connection, balancing softness with quiet strength.

Renee’s work has been featured in juried art events, curated shows, and creative retreats, including the annual Art on the Border event. Her one-of-a-kind original works are collected by those drawn to artwork created with intention, narrative depth, and emotional resonance. Each piece is created intuitively in her Missouri studio and signed by the artist.

🇨🇦 Michele Rogers (@michelerogersart), an artist from Saskatchewan, is celebrated for her diversity in subjects, including portraits honoring Indigenous First Nations women and reflecting her Métis heritage. Her work captures the stories and resilience of grandmothers and female warriors.

Her painting "Leotie" won first prize in a juried art competition, with two other portraits receiving honorable mentions. Leotie was also chosen to grace the cover of the Women in Arts Network online catalogue.

Michele has had her FIERCE collection on display in a local gallery, and her A Grandmother’s Love collection will be on display at the Gov’t House Queen Elizabeth II Art Gallery in Regina, SK, from March to June 2026.

She was featured in a prestigious artist magazine in fall 2025 and is part of a three-part artist documentary titled The Art of Becoming. Additionally, she spoke at the WESK event for women entrepreneurs in fall 2025 and will be the keynote speaker at an event for International Women’s Day in March 2026.

Michele also teaches paint parties, inspiring others to explore their creativity and gain confidence.
