Windows Open 2020
During the past few months daily life seemed to come to a standstill, but the isolated homes and studios
of artists remained vibrant places where creators turned inward for inspiration. Now, the Markham Group
of Artists asks those artists to open their windows and let the world see how this experience has affected
their vision of the world.
The Markham Group of Artists invites artists from Toronto and surrounding areas to submit paintings to
WINDOWS OPEN 2020. This juried online exhibition will open on August 22 and run until September 25.
The show will be featured on the MGA website’s gallery and promoted on the Group’s Instagram and
Facebook sites. MGA is honoured to have well-known artist and teacher Suzanne Metz serve as the juror
and cash prizes will be awarded.
SUBMISSION DATES: August 7-14, 2020
JURYING: August 15-19; accepted artists will be notified by email August 21
SHOW DATES: August 22 – Sept. 25, 2020
