The Teeny Tiny Art Tour
Get PAID to exhibit, On Tour!

How would you like Your Art to tour 13~ or more~ cities across Canada?? Once our curators boat is built, he’ll be taking it to Thunder Bay, ON. for open water testing.. to prove the strength of the build, to prove the ability of his legs (FYI: it’s a Pedal Powered boat purposed for global circumnavigation).. Along the way, he is currently negotiating with venues, businesses, and artists/ artisans for scheduled events that will be sort of like Night Markets.. or Day Markets.. or weekend long events. 

And you’ll get PAID!
We purchase your artwork in a 60/40 basis… you get the 60%! There is a max of $350 that we’ll pay out tho.. so your artwork shouldn’t be valued at more than *about* $585 ($585- 40%= $351, specifically.. so, you get the idea). AND we’ll be hosting a Silent Auction throughout the TOUR.. when your work sells, you’ll get a BONUS.

More Info to Fill ur Boots…

exhibition box on Bowness Rd., measuring +/- 12″ deep, 10″ tall at the back, 14″ tall at the front and +/- 16″ side to side. Boxes for The Tour will be CUSTOM designed, built, and/ oradorned according to your own visual aesthetic so No Two Boxes will be alike!

The Tour starts, specifically..
in Calgary, AB (because the boat is there) and moves on to Regina and Winnipeg before landing in Thunder Bay to see TheBoat (unnamed.. so far) dumped in The Drink (aka: Lake Ontario) and pushed off from the coastline. The first scheduled stop is in Sault Ste. Marie for a combined Can/Am event. From there, he’ll continue through to Sarnia, again for a Can/Am event. While Windsor is just a short distance.. mere “spitting distance” from Sarnia.. there’ll be another Can/Am event held there. From there, he’ll be pedalling through Lake Erie towards the eventual goal of reaching Niagara Falls (again, a Can/ Am event). After crushing it through the Welland Canal, it’s a quick bee- line across Lake Ontario to.. Toronto for a cool event there before meandering through Prince Edward county leading him past his ‘alma matter‘ of Albert College (Belleville) and on to his old haunt of Kingston, On. From there, he’ll navigate through the Rideau Canal System that’ll take him to Ottawa. Leaving Canada’s Capital Region, he’ll take the Ottawa River (with some massive locks) through to Montreal which is the planned end of the line, unless there is expressed interest to.. Go On.. Keep Pedalling to who knows where.

And the pre- trial.. trial:
There will be a Tester Tour hosted in Kelowna, BC once the boat is finished.. the boat will be shipped off to Ktown to be dumped in the drink.. our Curator (half of the curatorial team, TBH) will pilot her up to Vernon (and back) and then down to Penticton (and back) with a full day of exhibition, talking, and promoting in between at a location in Kelowna (TBA) c/w EXHIBITIONAL display and…  Lotsa Lotsa MEDIA during this event!

While we are currently concentrating on the eastward journey, we are also penciling in different communities such as North York, Hamilton, London, Barrie, Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Kamloops as we meander back to the West Coast for the.. DEPARTURE event.

And then..
If you are accepted..  you’ll be exhibited at the weekend long Hybrid Event set to take place on Sept. 11th, 12th, and 13th..  in or near Athlete’s Village & Science World, Vancouver BC.. the galleries will be dispersed throughout the area for interaction and exhibition!
