CreativeHub 1352 is seeking submissions from visual artists to create an original image for the 2021 Lakeview Farmers’ Market!
About us:
The Lakeview Farmers’ Market is unique as it features locally grown, sustainable, organic and artisanal products that provide an important source of income for local farmers, growers, producers and artisans. The market is run by CreativeHub 1352 volunteers and is located at the historical Small Arms Inspection Building site. We are a non-profit incorporated group that supports, arts, culture, heritage and environmental events and programs in Mississauga.
The Theme:
We are looking for original artwork that will express the essence of the Lakeview Farmers’ Market experience, our local farmers and/or their products. We leave it up to your imagination to create a work that will stimulate the senses, express a sense of celebration and community and/or highlight certain aspects of market days. Think of a busy market day, farm vendor stalls, a southern Ontario Farm landscape or farmyard scene, images of fruit, veggies, preserves, or whatever images conjure up this unique “Farmers’ Market” Eight accepted artists’ work will be displayed for the duration of the 2021 market season. The Market operates Sundays from May 30th to October 10th, 10 am to 2 pm.
We believe that the artwork will not only enhance the Farmers’ Market experience for our visitors, but also engage visitors with local, original art and increase exposure for our local artists.

Please send a professional image of your work to info@creativehub.ca to be juried by the selection committee. All art mediums will be accepted.
