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 March’s show,  HER featuring Rita Vicari and a roster of 38 talented artists selected by our jury of Artists and Collectors, with each piece priced at $350 CAD / $300 USD. 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.

Rita Vicari is a creative, painter and art mentor at Milan Art Institute. Born in Lipetsk, Russia, Rita moved to South Korea in her 20s where she lived for 4 years and discovered her passion for visual art before moving to the United States. Although her childhood was very happy, she and her two sisters were growing up during the 90s in a post-soviet atmosphere. In lack of much she learned how to admire simple things but it drove her desire to find or create something new and original. Her art took different forms – from poetry and dance choreography, she found her way back to painting.

As a big part of her artistic journey, Rita works as an art mentor for Milan Art Institute helping emerging artists and creators to start their professional career and find their unique voice as artists. Sharing experience and helping others has always been a big part of everything she does. She believes in community and that creatives working together can bring growth and prosperity to a society.

Rita Vicari has participated in different shows across the United States like Art Expo New York and The Other Art Fair by Saatchi Art. She had her solo exhibitions in Moscow, Russia; Seoul, South Korea and Texas, USA. Her art and story was mentioned in publication like Women United magazine, Canvas Rebel, Dallas Voyage magazine.

Rita’s work is collected across the United States as well as internationally. After a long time of traveling around the world and exploring different cultures, she is thrilled to be living and working from her studio in Art 150 art center located in Jersey City, NJ.

🇩🇪 / 🇮🇹 Anneli van Laak (@anneli_van_laak) says: "My artist-name is Anneli van Laak, born in Dinslaken, Germany, in 1960. Since 1/2026, I have been working in Santa Flavia, Sicily, Italy, as a contemporary painter, combining the inspiration of old master paintings with modern mixed media techniques in an abstract-realistic style. The multi-layered pieces on canvas or wooden board are created by using a variety of materials like acrylic, ink, metal fluid, texture paste, collage, spray-paint & stencils as a basis for later refinement with oil, wax, or resin. Recurring motifs such as leaves, stones, birds, blossoms, nets, or keys serve as symbols for inner psychological processes or social dynamics. My work explores the lost heritage of women, their perspective, values, growth, intimate relationships, and their connection to Nature as the Divine Feminine to contribute to the corrective movement already dawning in a world of male dominion, globalism, and transhumanism."

🇨🇦 Angela Seear (@angelaseear_artist) is an abstract landscape artist based in Vancouver, BC. Her acrylic paintings blend the line between memory and reality and aim to transport you back to places from your dreams.

🇨🇦 Amanda Blaine (@amandablaineartist) is a Canadian painter and potter based in St. Albert, Alberta. Her work is guided by emotion and the layered inner world of women — where strength and softness coexist, and where beauty is often found in complexity.

Working primarily in acrylic, Amanda’s paintings blend modern impressionism with moments of abstraction and realism. Her process is intuitive and responsive, allowing each piece to evolve organically as she follows feeling over precision.

Amanda is best known for her colourful animal portraiture, expressive colour, and visible brushwork. Through animals, she explores themes of attentiveness and quiet power. She portrays each subject with care, presence, and an emphasis on spirit rather than perfection.

Art is both refuge and reclamation for Amanda. While balancing a full-time career in communications, her studio practice offers space for stillness, connection, and creative freedom.
