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.

🇨🇦 Brenda Hurley (@brenda.tbay) is a primarily self-taught artist living in Thunder Bay, Ontario. She is known for her whimsically impressionistic landscapes and florals painted in oil. Her use of vibrant colour and strong brushstrokes allows the buttery consistency of oil paint to shine. Expressing herself through her paintings and the appreciation of the work of other artists has become a major focus of her life. Brenda’s time spent “pushing paint around” is never wasted; it brings great joy and a wonderful and fulfilling purpose to life. See more at: brendahurleyart.com
🇨🇦 Brandie Cormier (@brandie_cormier) is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative journey spans pottery, illustration, welding, anatomical drawing, sculpture, and quilting. Ten years ago, she found her passion in painting. Brandie creates vibrant, stylized works that reflect her emotional world. Her paintings use colour, movement, and texture to evoke joy, energy, and optimism, aiming to uplift the hearts and homes of her collectors. With a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and a Master’s degree in Art Therapy, Brandie combines artistic skill with a deep understanding of the need for emotional expression. Her work invites connection and reflection, encouraging viewers to explore their own inner landscapes. When she’s not in the studio, Brandie can be found walking in nature, spending time on the water, or enjoying a strong coffee at a local café. For her, art is both a personal journey and a way to bring light and meaning into everyday life. See more at: brandiecormier.com
🇨🇦 Becky Luth (@bekisart) says: "My journey with art was not something I sought out. It found me. I was always a dreamer; my imagination filled with ideas of impossibilities becoming reality. In my 20's, my dream of becoming a marine biologist came true and I received a degree in Marine Sciences and Biology, traveling around the world and working for several years in the field, until life took a series of unexpected turns. In some ways, over the years it felt like I had been heavily pruned. I tried many times to pursue other endeavours, but the branch left growing was simply creativity, and particularly painting. I never imagined I would call myself an artist, but it is a humbling honour that I carry this title. It is a path where I continually get to make the impossible become possible, I get to create something out of nothing, I get to make realities, and that is what I hope my paintings are for others. Windows of hope and light. I currently am painting in acrylics, inspired by the beauty of the province that surrounds me, painting year round in all seasons; the mountains, forests and seas."

🇨🇦 Barbara Reade (@bdreade_art) completed her BFA in Illustration at Parsons School of Design in New York City. Her artistic career has come full circle after many rewarding years in education and as a retail business owner. Barbara paints out of her light-filled studio in downtown Burlington that she shares with her two studio cats, Forrest and Jenny. Barbara’s paintings appear in private collections throughout North America. Barbara says: “As an abstract artist, my work is an exploration of energy and the intangible connections that shape our human experience. I am drawn to the interplay of colour, texture, and form to create pieces that evoke a sense of energy and movement. Every painting is an instinctual response to a thought or feeling, evolving through layers of experimentation and discovery. I work with acrylic and mixed media, allowing for complete freedom in my process. Inspired by nature, music, and the rhythms of daily life, I aim to capture fleeting moments of recognition and introspection. Each piece is a dialogue between intention and spontaneity – a balance of control and surrender. I begin every painting with play and a willingness to let the painting develop organically. Never knowing where a piece is headed keeps my studio practice fresh, unpredictable and dynamic. A painting is complete when there is just the right balance between wildness and precision. Recent work has focused on creating a series of floral-inspired paintings. This collection is more about what flowers feel like to me, rather than a literal representation. These paintings are an explosion of colour, petal shapes, meandering lines, and abstracted backgrounds that suggest all things garden, summery and fragrant.” See more at: barbarareade.com
