Applications now open for Art on the Street 2022

GUELPH – Guelph Arts Council (GAC) and the Downtown Guelph Business Association are thrilled to announce the return of Art on the Street to Guelph’s Quebec Street.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Guelph’s beloved outdoor art exhibition and sale.

To celebrate this milestone, the event will be expanded and hosted over two consecutive days on June 25 from 10am to 5pm and June 26 from 11am to 4pm.

Applications from artists for this juried event will be accepted until March 7.

The detailed artist guidelines and application form are posted at guelpharts.ca.

Artists who need support for the application process or have questions after reviewing the guidelines are invited to contact Paige Bromby at programs@guelpharts.ca or 519-836-3280.

Art on the Street is co-presented by the Downtown Guelph Business Association and the GAC.

The event, which has grown over the past two decades to become Guelph’s largest outdoor exhibition and sale, features contemporary fine art and craft from established and emerging regional artists.

After pivoting to Art on the (Virtual) Street for two years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, GAC and the Downtown Guelph Business Association are excited to return to an in-person outdoor art experience.

Guelph’s residents and visitors can connect with diverse artists on Quebec Street and take high-quality original art – including painting, pottery, woodworking, textile art, glass work, jewellery, and more – home with them.

Art on the Street is a free event that welcomes art lovers of all ages. Join the GAC in celebrating 20 years of fresh-air art experiences on June 25 and 26.
