The Artist Project marks its fifth anniversary with another memorable show featuring original works by a juried selection of over 200 independent contemporary artists. The Artist Project is Canada’s largest art fair for young and emerging artists who come from around the world to take part and experience the energy of a young, cutting-edge crowd. From seasoned YP collectors to younger first-time art buyers and YP interior designers, The Artist Project offers visitors the unique chance to meet and purchase work directly from Canadian and international artists. This year’s fair promises to be bigger and better with more than 12,000 visitors expected to attend over its four-day (March 1-4) duration. Special features include the Art Chats seminar series, the Untapped Emerging Artist Competition, The Energy Competition, and expert-led tours to give YPs an insider’s view on new trends in the art world.
The Artist Project will launch with an “ENERGY” themed kick-off party on Thursday, March 1st that will benefit the Canadian Art Foundation and the work it does with Canadian artists. The energy-filled event will feature live music, tempting treats and live installations, making for a well-spent Thursday evening for the Toronto YP.
