The Art Show List
Art Event Spotlight

OTTAWA
Coming up in 2026!
Shenkman | Ottawa
Pre-Registration Now Open
If you have wondered why you weren't accepted into a juried art show, this is the seminar you want to sign-up for. Former art show organizers and jury members have put together a special seminar that will give you a look 'behind the curtains' to discover what they look for from applications.
Marquee Art Shows
These are large-scale art exhibition events that are open to the general public, and include 70+ artists who have a dedicated exhibition space (at the event) and are present for the full duration of the event (to sell their pieces directly to art collectors and art lovers alike).
