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 November’s annual “Julia Veenstra & Friends” show, featuring a roster of 46 incredible artists selected by Julia Veenstra herself. 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 letter outlining the impact of tariffs on artists and collectors. Read the letter on Tariffs.

🇨🇦 Vicki Carruthers (@vickicarruthers_art) is a Canadian contemporary landscape artist known for her bold use of colour, strong lines, and distinctive interpretation of the Canadian landscape. Working primarily in acrylic, Vicki transforms familiar places into vibrant compositions that are both playful and powerful. Vicki sees the world in shapes and colour. Inspired by the rugged beauty of Georgian Bay, she is drawn to its weathered rocks, windswept pines, expansive skies and ever-changing water. These elements have become a recurring language in her work, simplified into bold shapes and expressive lines while capturing the energy and spirit of the landscape. Her process often begins with a photograph, quick sketch, or memory. From there, she builds the painting layer by layer, blocking in colour and using her signature outlining technique to create movement and depth. Her paintings are not intended to be literal representations of a place, but rather her personal response to it — a feeling, a memory and a moment captured through colour. Vicki’s work has been exhibited extensively, including a longstanding relationship with Toronto’s Artist Project. Her accomplishments include creating a permanent 50-foot mural in her hometown of Aurora, Ontario; having her work featured as a full-cover painting in the UK publication *Delayed Gratification*; and having paintings included in the permanent collections of three Toronto hospitals. She also participates in an Artist-in-School program, sharing her creative process and passion for art with students. With approximately 70% of her practice devoted to commissions, Vicki’s original paintings are held in private collections across Canada and internationally. At the heart of Vicki’s work is a desire to create joy, connection and a sense of place — inviting viewers to stop, feel something and perhaps see the landscape a little differently.

🇨🇦 Vera Kisseleva (@verakiss_art) is a professional landscape artist, art educator, and the founder of Vera Kiss Art Studio in downtown Fergus. With a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education and more than ten years as a full-time artist, she has built her career around capturing the beauty of nature, light, and atmosphere through vibrant acrylic paintings. Known for her expressive use of color and her ability to bring landscapes to life, Vera’s work is inspired by the changing seasons, quiet countryside moments, and the emotional connection we feel with the natural world. Her paintings have been exhibited in galleries and exhibitions across Ontario and are collected by art lovers who are drawn to their warmth, energy, and sense of place. See more at: verakissart.com

🇨🇦 Vanya Ryan (@vanya.paint) enjoys working as a full-time artist near her hometown in Ontario, Canada. Her discipline is focused primarily on acrylic paint on stretched canvas. Though she loves to create whatever her inspirational mood demands of her, Vanya is presently focused on the details of light, shadows, and colours of her favourite florals. With her garden flowers as inspiration, she enjoys creating larger-than-life canvases, choosing one or two flowers as the focus of the painting. As an artist who sells her work locally and internationally, Vanya looks forward to continuing her love of painting for many years to come. See more at: vanyaryan.com
