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!

🇨🇦 Chris Warburton Hulme (@cwhulmeart) is an acrylics and mixed media artist living her best art life on the East Coast of Canada in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia. She had a sudden urge to slap globs of paint onto paper in 2021 and has since made a lot messes, finding her own voice in art. As a late in life diagnosed autistic woman, art allows her to express what she finds difficult to articulate in the spoken word.

Chris’ work is colourful, quirky, sometimes sentimental, and often cheeky! Her art almost always has a story behind it and frequently draws on her own life experiences. This includes a passion for women's empowerment with a personal connection to those who have experienced gender-based violence. She infuses her art with powerful and fun feminism.

Chris creates her vibrant mixed media art using acrylic paint, original hand-painted collage papers, hand-drawn images, art collage paper, and carefully curated public domain images.

Her studio is her dining room. Her family never eats in the dining room anyway. Her favourite colour is pink.

🇨🇦 Cheryl Stanley (@cherylstanleycreates) says: "I'm Cheryl, a creative soul who loves nothing more than finding beauty in the ordinary and imperfect world around me. My paintings are a record of life and memory. Working in acrylic, I paint moments that feel both familiar and timeless.

From a young age, a paintbrush or crayon was rarely out of reach, and that creative energy has flowed through every chapter of my life. Now an “empty-nester”, I have the chance to experiment and explore more fully. I travel often between our home in Stratford, Ontario and our place on the east coast of New Brunswick which both provide unique inspiration to my practice. 

I am proud to be a part of the wonderful art community on Stratford, Ontario and my works have been found at the Matilda Swanson Gallery, Stratford’s ArtMkt and along the banks of the Avon river as a member of Stratford’s Art in the Park. I also love to welcoming people into mty studio for art classes on occasion. All proceeds from the sale of my artare donated to organizations supporting food security for children and youth, including local food banks and school nutrition programs."

🇨🇦 Char Kolesnnik (@charkoledesigns) is a Calgary-based landscape and wildlife artist known for expressive, colour-driven interpretations of the Canadian Rockies. Her work revolves around the emotional connection between light, nature and sense of place.

🇨🇦 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.
