This year the Mayor's Art Showcase was held for the second year in a row. Artists resident in Markham were eligible to submit entries. It was juried by DD Gadjanski and we are please to say that 32 works by members of the Markham Group of Artists were accepted and we received 3 of 5 available Honourable Mentions. This gallery shows works created by 21 of our fine artists.

This juried show ran from May 26 to June 7, 2009. While the show is finished, you can still buy unsold work by contacting us using the E-mail Us menu option to the left.

This show was hosted by the Town of Markham and the Markham Arts Council and provided an opportunity for developers, decorators, realtors, businesses and residents to purchase original works of art. Paintings were provided by the Markham Group of Artists and the Heitzman Art Group. The show was held in the Great Hall in the Markham Municipal Offices. As the mayor said, "Buy local art. The quality will amaze you."
