The Artists Network is committed to providing exhibition opportunities to Canadian artists. By transitioning to hybrid online and in-person shows, we have pivoted quickly to ensure artists have the best possible chance to promote and sell their work. Being a part of the Artists’ Network provides you with opportunities to host solo exhibitions in the Leslie Grove Gallery, participate in open group shows and member-only exhibitions.

At the Artists’ Network we realize that the lack of shows has been challenging for both artists and art collectors. For this reason, we decided to launch three shows that will be both Online and In-Person.

We will be extensively marketing these three events and will deliver art and artists to collectors who have been without art in front of them for too long.

We would like to invite you to apply for these three shows! Each show must be applied to individually.

Open call to Artists’ Network members and non-members. Please note that you must be a member to qualify for the discounted show fees at time of submission. Learn more about the benefits of membership: www.artistsnetwork.ca/membership

Each show has $50 application fee.

WHY DO AN ARTISTS’ NETWORK SHOW?

• Destination shows for Toronto art lovers • Fine art ONLY • Intensive orientation • Run by artists for artists! • FREE onsite overnight storage for large work • 96% of ArtWalk artists indicated overall communications and artists support “Best Ever” or “Better than Average” • Internal Facebook groups, sharing business and marketing tips • Over 20 years of creating fine art shows in Toronto!
