Call for Submissions: SpeakEasy’s 2013 Spring Art Fair<\/p>\n

Toronto\u2019s SpeakEasy Event will once again produce a group exhibition entitled SpeakEasy’s Spring Art Fair, which will take place in May 2013.<\/p>\n

Open to established and emerging artists from all disciplines, the SpeakEasy Art Fairs feature local artists from a variety of creative backgrounds.<\/p>\n

SpeakEasy was established in 1996 and has made a dramatic impact on the local creative community. For over 16 years SpeakEasy has events designed to bring creative types together to share ideas and inspiration. We have experienced increasing interest year after year and have continued to introduce emerging artists into the Toronto art scene.<\/p>\n

In 2012 SpeakEasy announced the launch of our Spring and Fall Art Fairs. These 2 week-long juried exhibitions offer our artists an extended period of time for display and promotion. The exhibitions include an opening night celebration and the extended exhibition hours allow more visitors to see the show and give art writers and critics a chance to review and write about the events.<\/p>\n
