About
Age should be no barrier to the possibility of art itself.
The Little EGG Gallery is a Canadian art gallery specifically for under 18 year old artists.
The gallery was founded by a young artist when he discovered most shows and art fairs had age restrictions. Many art galleries had legal restrictions creating barriers for under 18 artists. Under 18 artists very often struggle to find spaces where they can showcase their work, connect with mentors, and receive recognition. The art world can be daunting, and opportunities for emerging talent are frequently limited. As a result, many young creatives lack visibility and support, which hinders their growth and development in the art world.
There was a void in the art world.
By creating an environment focused on youth art, the Gallery bridges the gap between emerging artists and art enthusiasts, helping to elevate the voices of the next generation. This niche not only recognizes the creative potential among youth but also addresses a gap in the traditional art market that often overlooks their contributions.
Since our inception in 2022, Little EGG has exhibited artwork of under 18 artists from all around the world. Our mission is to become the global venue to celebrate the next generation of contemporary artists. A place where every young artist can be recognized.
As Picasso said, “Every child is an artist; the problem is staying an artist when you grow up.“
We want to ensure this creativity is not lost. Age should be no barrier to the possibility of art itself.Little EGG has financially supported young underprivileged artists from Ukraine, Uganda and Israel to allow them to exhibit their artwork in our shows.
We also partner with local mental health organizations to provide hope and inspiration.
The gallery has been featured on Hyperallergic, Reader's Digest, Artsy, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC TV & CBC Kids News), The Art Newspaper, Toronto Star, TLN TV and more.
We host shows in Toronto & NYC. Our permanent space is located in Toronto, Canada.
Since 2023
