Hello ~ Happy New Year!

Typically, the Off The Wall Art Show starts our search for participating Artists as early as January of each year for a July Show. But once again, the Off The Wall Art Show is in question of holding an Art Show.

We will post the possibility of any new Art Shows on this page… Thank you for your interest.

Best of Health & Prosperity be Yours!

Hello ~ Happy New Year!

Due to the Omicron virus, the usual January search for Off The Wall Artists for a July Show in 2022 is again on hold at this time.

But, this won't forever, and we will post a notice here and on the Home Page of any possible OTW Art Shows that would be safe and prosperous for all the participating Artists in the future.

Until then, Be Safe ~ Be Well.

July 19, 2017  Stay tuned for our photos of the July 16th, 3rd Annual Show - we'll post them on this website shortly over the next several days... 

 July 17, 2017  Together we 'Made It Happen' thanks to the Quai du Vin Estate Winery, our Artists, Sponsors, Advertisers, Volunteers, Caterers, Special Guests, Family, Friends, Visitors and Well-Wishers.  The 3rd Annual OTW Art Show was truly an awesome day.  July 16 started off wonderfully in every way, and the weather was breezy and sunny until about 2:30, when the sky started to darken, the wind came up and the online weather radar showed a particularly nasty thunderstorm cell heading straight for us from the Sarnia area.  It was a tough call to make from the Winery to have the Artists pack up early, but everyone went home safely with their creative works in tack.  The storm arrived right at 5pm.  

Stay tuned for our photos of the July 16th, 3rd Annual Show

Thank you!
