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 September’s show “Autumn” featuring a roster of 39 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 letter outlining the impact of tariffs on artists and collectors. Read the letter on Tariffs.

Join the fun! Subscribe today for a chance to win an original painting by Rita Vicari!

🇳🇱 Ellis Hollering (@ellishollering_art) is a Dutch abstract realistic artist whose artworks aim to capture the beauty and essence of life, inspiring others in the process. She believes that life consists of different layers, each perceived uniquely by individuals. Viewing art as a journey of transformation, connection, strength, and vulnerability, she appreciates that it is experienced differently in each phase of life. 

As an avid traveler, Ellis has witnessed the beauty of nature throughout the world. These travels have inspired her to create paintings that portray the connections she discovered both within nature and herself. In her art, Ellis harmoniously blends soft subtlety with powerful expressions, forging a dynamic contrast that captivates the senses.

Canadian artist 🇨🇦 Jean Grady (@jeanmgrady) captures the rugged allure of the big open skies, lakes, and trees of the northern Ontario landscape with a distinctive impressionistic style. Her passion for painting began at an early age and grew through a combination of workshops and university courses, although much of her artistic development has been self-taught.

Mesmerized by the intricate patterns of light and shadow found in nature, Jean prefers acrylics for the freedom they offer to maintain a fresh style with vivid colours and a broad value range. The result is joyful artwork filled with bold harmonies and a whimsical touch of magic. Drawing from personal connections and experiences, many of her paintings are viewed from the perspective of a kayak, inviting viewers to feel as though they are on the water themselves.

Her work can be found in many private collections throughout North America and Europe. For Jean, the process of painting brings a sense of joy, peace, and awe at the beauty of nature, and she hopes to inspire those same feelings in viewers.

🇺🇸 Jonathan Espalin (@jonathan_espalin_arts) creates many-layered mixed media paintings and drawings celebrating the interweaving of nature and human civilization.  Images of nature such as plants, birds, and landscapes are combined with fragments of civilization including city maps, text, abstract patterns, and mechanical diagrams. He uses a combination of handcraft and digital media, enjoying the back and forth of organic and machine characters. Wildness and order run into each other, and something new emerges from their collision.

🇨🇦 Shelley Enemark (@shelleyenemark_art) is a Winnipeg-based artist with a lifelong passion for painting. From an early age, she discovered immense joy in creating and sharing her artwork, expressing her creativity through vibrant colour and form, a passion that has only deepened over time.

Her work has been recognized in juried competitions, collected by art lovers through various markets and online platforms, and exhibited at the St. Norbert Art Centre. Recently, her painting was selected in a juried competition by the HSC Children’s Hospital Foundation. Her painting of a bear will be printed on vinyl and installed on the walls at the HSC Children’s Hospital Cancer and Blood Disorder Ward.

Continuously evolving in her artistic journey, Shelley seeks to infuse every piece, whether landscape or animals, with warmth and optimism. Each painting tells a story or evokes a feeling, inviting viewers to connect emotionally with the scene. Her work is characterized by bold contrasts, expressive brushstrokes, and a contemporary energy that captures the essence of her subjects with both heart and vitality.
