2017 TWAC CNE JURIED ART SHOW

DEADLINE: MIDNIGHT, SUNDAY JULY 16, 2017      

Since its origins in 1879 as the Toronto Industrial Exhibition to the Canadian National Exhibition as we know it today, has always supported the Visual Arts. In the early days the CNE gave Canadian artists a place to exhibit their work and it presented one of the very few opportunities for visitors and artists to see foreign artworks without going abroad. The influence of these early exhibits for Canadian artists and collectors was tremendous. It is one of our goals to continue and expand on that artistic legacy. 

Artworld Fine Art Gallery and the Canadian National Exhibition Association are pleased to sponsor the 2017 Toronto West Arts Collaborative Annual Juried Art Show. 

This call for submissions is open to all citizens and residents of Canada over the age of 18 working in the following categories: 

Acrylic/Oil | Watercolour | Sculpture | Photography & Other Media 

This annual fine art contest and exhibit awards the brightest and best artists working in Canada. 

Selected artwork will be on display from August 18th-September 4th 2017 in the Arts & Crafts Building at the CNE. 

With over 1.7 million visitors expected to visit the CNE in 2017, this is a great opportunity for artists to be acknowledged for their talents, gain exposure, win cash prizes and build new relationships. NEW THIS YEAR - all selected artists will have the opportunity to be a demon-strating artist at the ART SPACE for one day during the CNE.
