At The Paint Spot, we are often asked by artists, “Where can I show my art in Edmonton?” This resource is created to help artists find a spot in a café or restaurant to show their work. It is easy to negotiate space for hanging drawings, paintings, and photographs because it will help create an attractive space. A collaboration of this kind will benefit the business, the patron, as well as the artist.
