NATIONAL
& INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR ARTISTS IN ANY MEDIA:
AWOL
Gallery is seeking submissions for Toronto’s
most anticipated summer group show!
The
7th Annual
Original
SQUARE FOOT Show
AWOL Gallery (Toronto, Canada) is planning The Square
Foot Show 2009, an annual group exhibition of hundreds
of local, national and international artists working
in all media. The Square Foot Show is an excellent
networking event and an opportunity for participating
Artists to gain exposure to collectors, curators,
media, other artists, and the general public. This
is Square Foot’s seventh year and the AWOL Collective
is aiming to make the show bigger and better than
ever. Like 2007’s & 2008’s exhibition,
we will hold The Square Foot Show at an off site venue;
The Lower Ossington Theatre (LOT) at 100A Ossington.
This larger venue accommodates both the numerous artworks
and the hundreds of people who come to view this exhibit
every year. In 2008 over 600 artists participated
and exhibited over 1300 pieces!
Join us for Square Foot 2009 and help us celebrate
AWOL Gallery’s 10th Anniversary and make this
the most memorable Square Foot Show to date!
