Call for Artists: Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition Application

Deadline: March 1

Now in its 49th year, the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition [TOAE] is a juried showcase featuring contemporary fine art and craft that takes place on Nathan Phillips Square every July. As the largest outdoor art exhibition in Canada, the TOAE offers a fresh-air alternative to conventional art shows and galleries. Approximately 500 artists participate and over 100,000 visitors attend the exhibition every year. Side by side, established artists, undiscovered talents and innovative students sell their work directly to the public and make lasting connections with art dealers and collectors. In 2009, the TOAE presented over $35,000 in cash awards and prizes to participating artists.

We welcome applications from artists working in a wide range of traditional and experimental art forms. Applications can be downloaded from the TOAE website at www.torontooutdoorart.org or call 416.408.2754 for more information.
