Art For All Canada, Inc. invites visual artists to show at the CNE.
The summer will soon be here and Art For All Canada, Inc. have arranged another special opportunity for artists to show their work to thousands of people from their larger booth inside the Arts and Crafts building at the CNE.
Artists do not have to sit the show. AFAC labels each work of art on show with the artist's name and contact information. Interested buyers contact the artist directly and NO commissions are charged on sales.
Artists can display their work on 18 square feet of wall space for ALL 18 DAYS of the CNE
Participating artists must agree to attend the booth for one half day (6 hours) and to demonstrate art techniques to visitors or work on a painting during this time on the booth. This is a great opportunity to show your art to many thousands of people and to meet young or emerging artists seeking art education.
The Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto is Canada's biggest public event with over 1.3 million visitors in 2009. This year it runs 18 days from 20th August - 6th September.
If you are interested in reaching the large audience visiting the Art and Crafts building in this year's CNE, contact Sheila Mitchell right away.
