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.

🇨🇦 Fulya Bulur (@fulya.bulur.art) says: “I am a self-taught artist who paints in oils, acrylics, and soft pastels. I have taken classes and workshops; however, I mostly learned through painting and experimenting. In January 2025, I started teaching soft pastels and acrylics workshops at Visual Arts Mississauga. I have exhibited in group shows and juried exhibitions at Women’s Art Association of Canada, Visual Arts Mississauga, Summer Grace Gallery, and UCM. I regularly paint plein air and act as an active organizer of Sauga Plein Air Group.”

🇨🇦 Julia Veenstra (@jveenstraartist) is a renowned Canadian artist and entrepreneur known for her lively composition and vibrant use of colour. Having lived in various countries throughout her life, Julia incorporates diverse influences into her impressionistic and representational style—it’s no surprise, then, that her work is found in collections across the globe. She chooses acrylic as her medium of expression due to its immediacy and the ability to create bright and vivid colours.

Julia’s artistic journey has led her to focus on capturing the vivid landscapes of her native Canada, for which she has gained national recognition, including a feature on the coveted Royal Winter Fair poster. As an entrepreneur, she’s made a significant impact on thousands of artists and collectors worldwide through initiatives like Square Foot Show, Artlabel, and her new gallery, Crown and Press. You can often find Julia in her studio, a converted garage, at her home on Beach Boulevard in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada!
