2025 APPLICATION DATES

APPLICATIONS

  • The link for applications is sent to every email address on our Artist List.

  • Prior year artists have early registration access for a limited period and for a limited number of spaces. Open registration for all other artists on the Artist List follows this period.

  • The application form ‘Artist Agreement’ states “ 1. I am an artist and I currently live in, or create art/ work as an artist Oakville, Ontario.” so if you fit that brief, please apply.

  • We allocate places to artists who live in Oakville before artists who ‘create art'/work as artists’ in Oakville.

    The Art In My Garden vision is to serve as an accessible and inclusive art experience that supports emerging and established artists living in Oakville, each year we aim to include new artists. Thank you for your continued support of our event as we evolve this process which remains unjuried and open for applications for any artists in Oakville.
