ABOUT THE EVENT
TRACE lands in Toronto on Friday, August 15 at Blanc Canvas as part of our exciting new FORM event series. Blanc Canvas is a striking venue that’s new to us and perfect for this elevated, one-night-only art experience. This curated event brings together visual artists, photographers, illustrators, designers, and makers in a setting designed for connection, reflection, and discovery.
Gallery-inspired but far more dynamic, TRACE blends bold visual storytelling with immersive installations and an electric atmosphere. If your work tells a story, we invite you to apply. All submissions are carefully reviewed, and space is limited.
Blanc Canvas offers the perfect backdrop for the launch of FORM.
With natural light, the venue strikes a balance between contemporary minimalism and warmth. Its open layout and elevated aesthetic make it an ideal setting for immersive installation, thoughtful presentation, and meaningful connection.
Clock’s ticking. Ready to show your work?
Application deadline is now Friday July 18th, 2025 at 11:59PM EST.

"Still riding the high from Thursday night’s incredible event—huge thanks to Public Display Agency for putting together such a fabulous and unforgettable evening. I was honestly in awe to be surrounded by so many creative souls—everything from striking wall art, sculptures and recycled art masterpieces to photography, tattoo artistry, amazing live music and performaces, and beyond. It was such a beautiful reminder that art comes in so many forms, and David, Michelle, and the whole crew truly nailed that experience"
