TORONTO OUTDOOR ART EXHIBITION
The Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition serves as a fresh-air alternative to conventional art shows and galleries. The work of established artists, and craftspeople features undiscovered talents and innovative students side by side.
An estimated 100,000 visitors attend the exhibition over the three days. In addition to the sales opportunities, artists make lasting connections with art dealers and collectors. In 2006, the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition's Award Programme presented $30,000 in cash awards and prizes to participating artists.
The TOAE is a non-profit project organized by a group of volunteers active in the art and corporate communities. The exhibition is financed through registration fees, and by government, corporate and individual sponsors, enabling the TOAE to charge one of the lowest registration fees in North America. No percentage of the artists' sales is taken by the organizers.
