Liza Zhurkovskaya, aka Curator on the Go, is a Toronto-based Art Curator & Art Advisor. For more than nine years, Liza worked directly with artists helping them make a living through their creative work.
In 2020, Liza founded Kefi Art Gallery to support her artists and better assist her corporate and private clients with acquiring original art and curating their collections. Liza is known as a community leader who has brought hundreds of artworks to the public eye.

Liza is passionate about helping people make a living through their creative work. She has been working directly with artists since 2015, and has helped them thrive in the industry through media opportunities, exhibitions, and business advice. She focuses on the business side of the industry, something that is not often discussed in art school, and that many independent artists do not focus on enough. Liza’s goal is to erase the trope of the “starving artist”, and help artists set goals, find their voice, brand, and niche, and understand how to sell and price their artworks and services to collectors.
Liza is known as a community leader and her goal is to support artists and contribute to the Toronto arts and culture with thought-provoking and divergent exhibitions and art activations. Liza also produces Curator on the Go Podcast as a platform for artists, art professionals, and other creatives to share their stories and learn from each other.
We’re thrilled to announce our latest theme – “Women: Inside and Outside”. It’s all about exploring the diverse dimensions of being a woman through the lens of art.
We want you to explore what it means to be a woman from your perspective. How do you perceive their strength, their charm, their stories? What does womanhood mean to you? How do you see it reflected in the world around you, and how would you like to represent that through your artwork?
Whether it’s through the vibrant hues of a painting, the intricate details of a sculpture, or the delicate touch of a pottery piece, we want to see how you capture the essence of women—both from within and without.
This is an opportunity to showcase not just your creative skills, but also your ability to observe, understand, and portray one of the most pivotal aspects of human existence—the existence of women. Your artwork could be the voice for those untold stories, those unexpressed emotions, and those unseen perspectives that make up the complex stories of womanhood.
This call invites women and womxn artists worldwide to freely express their creativity without limitations. Artists of all mediums, including painting, sculpture, mixed media, and more, are encouraged to participate. The aim is to foster a diverse collection of artworks that authentically showcase each artist’s creative voice.

- Ensure that your Headshot/artworks are submitted with high-resolution images.
- Include a front shot of the artwork image in your submission.
- If your work involves an installation or sculpture, please include a photo of the piece in its installed state.
- Submit your artist bio and statement in less than 150 words.
- Submit an artwork statement in less than 50 words.
The top 3 winners will receive the following prizes:

At Arts To Hearts Project, we are passionate about amplifying the voices of emerging and contemporary women artists from all over the world. We are a self-funded publication and community that relies on submission fees to cover costs and keep our mission alive. Our goal is to provide a platform to celebrate the creativity and talent of these incredible women and share their stories with the world.
