Safe in My Bubble, heading for The Self Portrait Show

A new year brings new opportunities…. take a look….

The Salt Spring National Art Prize

The intent of SSNAP is to encourage artists whose practice demonstrates originality, quality, integrity and creativity—resulting in significant work with visual impact and depth of meaning. Approximately 50 finalists will be selected by an independent jury from across Canada to participate in the Finalists’ Exhibition on Salt Spring Island. Finalist selection process will be anonymous to the jury. The finalists’ works will not be revealed to the public until the opening of the SSNAP Exhibition September 24, 2021. Finalists may be selected to win one of ten awards, six selected by jurors and four selected by public vote. 

Submissions are open now, until May 31.

N4XTCanada – 2022

Would you like a longer time frame to prepare for a show – consider this: N3XTCanada has just wrapped up and plans are already under way for the next show – slated for 2022. The theme has already been determined, and a website will follow soon – I will keep you updated. For now, start thinking about the theme.

N4XTCANADA theme: Prey & Predator 
Explore the subjects of Victimization and Predation. In what sense do you  perceive these and all it entails?

N4XTCanada is a national juried art show presented by the Arts and Letters Club in Toronto.
