A whole slew of 12” by 12” works by local and international artists will be exhibited in AWOL Gallery’s Square Foot Show. In its fifth year, the show has grown to such a scale that the works will be displayed in a 2,500 square foot room on the second floor of 100A Ossington Avenue rather than in AWOL’s own gallery space. Over 500 square feet within 2,500 square feet should give ample room to accommodate the throngs of eager art fanatics. Since size constraints are the only limitation for the pieces, there will be a diverse selection of squares for your viewing pleasure.

is the more appropriate spelling) 12x12” works from over 450 Canadian and international artists of the emerging and established varieties; if our calculations are correct, that adds up to a whole lot of 90 degree angles. The pieces will be arranged into a grid from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling throughout the downstairs and upstairs rooms of the gallery. Each arty square is being sold for $200 (it ain’t no Honest Ed’s but it sure is a real bargain). The show opens tomorrow (August 4) at noon and the reception will be held at 6pm in the evening. The lovely arrangement of square feet will be hanging at AWOL until August 27. Gallery hours are Thurs-Sat 12-6pm, Sunday 1-5pm, or by appointment. Go go go go go check out the feet! They don't smell bad.

Seems like just days ago we were dealing with smog alerts, heat stroke and gooey asphalt. Now we're thinking about fall fashion, the film fest and falling leaves. Where did the summer go? More importantly where did all those summer art shows go?

Torontoist knows that the summer heat and smog can actually leave you quite literally crawling from gallery to gallery. So this week's art crawl will save you the trouble. Instead just find your way to the AWOL gallery for their 3rd annual Square Foot show. (go after the Alley Jaunt)
