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 show “Coastal” featuring a roster of 25 incredible artists selected by 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 Brenda McCafferty!

🇨🇦 Raquel Roth (@rrothart) is an acrylic artist based in beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia. Inspired by the power of colour, she creates cheerful, bold, and whimsical paintings that celebrate beauty, joy, and imagination. Colour serves as the driving force behind her creative process, and she is continually fascinated by the way pigments interact to produce rich, luminous, and often unexpected hues.

Raquel is especially drawn to floral subjects, captivated by the endless variety of shades, tints, and tones found in nature's blooms. Through her work, she explores the expressive potential of colour and the emotions it can evoke. She is continually inspired by art's ability to connect with people on a personal level and loves sharing the sense of joy and wonder she experiences while painting.

That connection motivates her to keep creating, painting one piece at a time in the hope of bringing moments of beauty, happiness, and inspiration to others.

🇺🇸 Frankie Duru (@frankies_paintings_23) is an accomplished impressionist artist known for his vibrant acrylic works that capture the essence of his desert surroundings. Based in La Quinta, California, he brings a unique perspective to his art, drawing inspiration from the beauty of the Coachella Valley. 

A major in fine arts from El Camino College has provided a solid foundation for his self-taught artistic journey. His artwork has been showcased in notable exhibitions, including a juried exhibition with the Artist Council in Palm Desert and a group show at the La Quinta Historic Museum. 

The artist's style is influenced by the likes of Monet, and he creates art that spreads joy and celebrates the beauty of the world. With a passion for color and light, Frankie continues to push the boundaries of impressionist art, inviting viewers to experience the serenity and beauty of the desert landscape through his work.
