We’re happy to announce that Argyle Fine Art is looking for a variety of local artists to create works with the theme, CANADIANA in mind. Your artwork might focus on regional landscape, Canadian icons, or even tourist kitch – the sky is the limit, so long as it falls within the category of Canadian culture. What do YOU associate with Canadian culture? All mediums will be considered, including (but not limited to) painting, sculpture, photography and textile. All artists are welcome to submit their work to this juried exhibition.
