About

This Nuit Blanche, we invite you to join The Red Head Gallery in celebrating the dedication of contemporary artists as they embark on a remarkable artistic journey lasting an entire 24 hours!

The 24 Hour Art-a-thon, presented by The Red Head Gallery Artists and their friends, is a collaborative and continuous performance. It offers the public a unique opportunity to witness the creative process of artists who typically work behind closed doors, often in isolation. Additionally, this event provides a special chance for art enthusiasts to acquire never-before-seen artworks at affordable prices, with the proceeds going to support one of Canada's longest-running Artist-run Galleries.

The roster of participating Artists includes: Faisal Anwar, Mathew Borrett, Jim Bourke, Joey Bruni, Lily Butterland, Tonia Di Risio, Gillian Iles, James Fowler, Sarah Kernohan, Ian MacKay, and Pearl Van Geest.

Starting from Saturday, September 23rd at 11am and continuing until Sunday, September 25th at 11am, artists will create a new piece of art every hour, on the hour. These artworks, each measuring 10×10 inches, will be available for immediate purchase in person and online, as part of a live broadcast of the event. Subsequently, the remaining artworks by the artists will be accessible online.

For those unable to attend in person, we will be showcasing newly posted artworks on this EVENT PAGE during the event. To claim a piece, simply comment "MINE." The first person to claim a work will have the chance to acquire it, and each artwork is priced at $100. Keep a close eye on this page for your chance to own a unique piece of art created during this extraordinary 24-hour event.

Organizer

Red Head Gallery

The Red Head Gallery is a professional artists’ collective committed to exhibiting the work of established and emerging artists and to encourage work that is critically engaged within a wide range of contemporary discourse.

Red Head artists create images and objects, manipulate spaces both theoretical and physical, participate in and organize events, and seek out opportunities to interact with other arts organizations locally, nationally, and internationally. Member artists have made The Red Head Gallery a continually evolving success and a place where significant careers are nurtured and sustained. Red Head artists, both past and present, maintain a high profile and consistently attract critical attention. The gallery's exhibitions have been highlighted and reviewed in noted newspapers, national and international art magazines and journals, on television, and in critically engaged blogs and web art sites.

The entity that is The Red Head Gallery is more than meets the eye. It is the embodiment of a concept as well as a physical space. It is a reflection of its seventeen artist-members who inspire, challenge and support one another's discipline through exhibitions and exchanges that bring their work to the wider community. The Red Head Gallery is also a community that facilitates engagement within the visual arts, for networking, and socializing, and contributing to meaningful discourse.

The collective has exhibited at the Hermes Gallery in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Blink Gallery in Ottawa, at ARC Gallery in Chicago, at the Kunsthaus Santa Fe in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and continues to pursue additional exchanges with other galleries abroad. The work of current and past Red Head artists can be found at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada and in major institutions and collections across the country and around the world.
