Akin is pleased to announce a public call and an extended deadline of November 23rd for artists to participate in our group exhibition and Winter Arts Market, as well as inviting the public to join us in a multi-function arts event highlighting artists from across the GTA. This will be an exciting initiative for Akin, as we activate 3 floors of the Clark Centre For The Arts, in Scarborough! We encourage artists and creative makers at all levels of experience to join in the fun and get your work shown in a beautiful new venue for public art! See below for registration information and further details!

Akin was approached this Spring to show in their gallery by the Clark Centre for the Arts in recognition of the strength of our community’s talent and experience. A stunning new cultural facility that houses specialised art studios and gallery spaces as well as a recognized architectural project, the Clark Centre is run by the City of Toronto, exhibiting high level, professional artists. It is a highly anticipated regional arts site, and will only develop further in time. This is an exciting opportunity for artists to show their work in such a special and unique place, and to be connected with a new community of art lovers and artists. Akin hopes this project can help build a strong relationship with the centre and with the Scarborough community at large.

From December 3-18th 2022, Akin will be hosting a public arts event at the Clark Centre for the Arts in Scarborough, featuring art by local artists around the GTA. Artists of all levels of experience and expression will be exhibiting and selling work through the Winter Arts Market and Group Exhibition, titled Through 100 Windows.

Featuring members of Akin’s studios as well as local creatives from Scarborough and surrounding neighbourhoods, artists and creatives of all mediums will be participating in an interdisciplinary wall installation of art panel hangings on the walls of a professional gallery, and offering handmade crafts, art and objects to the public over 2 weekends. From paintings and prints, to ceramics and textiles, we hope to present a gorgeous and colourfully integrated vision of artistic talent to warm hearts as we head into the winter months.

We invite the public to join us for an opening reception on December 3rd 2022, and particularly to drop in and find some beautiful gifts at the Arts Market on the weekends of December 3/4th and 10/11th. The exhibition and market days will be open during regular Clark Centre hours.

Artists may register to participate now until November 23rd to participate in our beautiful group show. A small registration fee of $35 is required to participate, however artists who would like to be considered for sponsorship are offered the opportunity to include their names in a list of consideration. Those who wish to contribute to sponsorship efforts are invited to contact erin@akincollective.com for more information.
