Wall & Door Specifications
Wall Specifications
- Wall panels are provided in two sizes: 4ft or 2ft wide, 11ft high and 3" thick. All booth walls in your design must be multiples of 2ft.
- Interior booth dimensions are reduced to reflect the 3" thickness of the walls.
- To ensure stability, side, support or return walls are required. We recommend walls be connected to common walls at a minimum of 12ft increments. Free standing walls cannot be provided. You will be notified of any unsafe connections during the booth design process and may be required to alter wall spans.
- All wall cross connections must be at 2ft increments only.
- Walls can only be secured at right angles.
- We request that walls are designed to be parallel or perpendicular to the aisles. If you would like to place a wall segment on an angle, please contact Operations (artoperations@informa.com) to discuss the feasibility.
- Additional linear feet of walls are available, with a 2ft minimum.
- All aisles must remain clear. No fixtures, walls, art, etc. may extend into the aisles.
- Safety regulations prohibit more than 12ft of wall facing an aisle. Aisle openings must be at least 8ft wide and occur at 10-12ft intervals.
- At the end of the show, all exhibitors must remove any labels, screws, hangers, and signage attached to the walls. Note: that a removal fee will be charged for any of the above materials left attached to the walls.
Door Specifications
- Door panels are 4ft wide.
- Closet door keys are picked up/dropped off at the Exhibitor Services Desk during move-in/out.
- All closet door keys must be returned during move out. Lost or misplaced keys will be subject to a $200 fee.
Lighting & Electrical
Lighting
*NEW in 2026: Art Toronto will be using truss lights as our standard booth lighting. Please read the following before creating your booth design.
- Each booth design indicates the position of the truss within your booth.
- Light fixtures clip onto the truss suspended on top of the booth walls.
- Light fixtures are LED 3000K (colour temperature) flood lights.
- Light coverage is 4-5 linear feet wide, and we recommend 1 light for every 5 linear feet of walls.
- Lights will be installed by the SHOWTECH electrical team as near as possible to your indicated placement, but for technical reasons a variance may occur.
- Once installed, Galleries may aim their own lights, or visit the onsite order desk to request an electrician’s support with focusing.
Power Outlets and Electrical Work
Note: Power is supplied from the ground. There are no wall mounted electrical sockets.
All other special electrical connections will be billed on a "time and material" basis. Labour charges are applied in 30-minute increments. If you require special electrical, please reach out to ArtOperations@informa.com.
Ontario's Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) requires exhibitors who display and or sell electrical products ensure the product bears an official mark or label from an accredited certification or evaluation agency (eg. CSA). A list of recognized marks and labels can be found here: https://esasafe.com/electrical-products/recognized-certification-marks/
Each exhibitor is responsible for meeting City of Toronto regulations for the Building Code and the Fire Code. Power will not be supplied to any display or equipment which is found to be hazardous or a danger to life. Show Management assumes no liability for loss by fire or accident.
Customization Options
Exhibitors can create a more customized booth experience through wall colour, flooring and furniture.
Paint
Exhibitors may order walls of their booth to be painted by Art Toronto's onsite painting contractors, with a 2' minimum. Large paint orders may result in a later move-in time.
The following colours have been approved by show management:
- Light Grey (Benjamin Moore Museum Piece CSP-40)
- Dark Grey (Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal HC-166)
- Black (Benjamin Moore Black 2132-10)
Custom Colors:
- Require approval via Benjamin Moore paint chip submission
- Must include color name and code
- Final approval rests with Show Management
To place an order for your walls to be painted please indicate on your Final Booth Design which walls of your booth are to be painted and in which colour. All paint will be an eggshell finish. You will be invoiced for the booth painting. Custom work such as cutting, stripes, shapes or patterns will require an additional labour quote.
Restrictions:
- Only Art Toronto's contractors may paint booth walls
- Self-painting is not permitted
Default Wall Color: White PPG-6-411C (Pittsburgh Paint, eggshell finish)
Flooring
Exhibitors wishing to incorporate floor coverings in their booth have the following options:
Booth Carpet (provided by Stronco. Please email ArtOperations@Informa.com for colour and pricing options)
Area rugs (Please email elise.vandenbosch@informa.com with a photo and dimensions of your rug. Area rugs must be approved for use by Show Management, additional regulations apply)
Rugs must be secured at the edges to mitigate trip hazards. The recommended tape is Scapa Tape, which is a high-adhesion double-sided cloth tape, commonly used at trade shows; it leaves almost no residue upon removal. Scapa Tape is available from: National Hardware Sales Ltd. www.nhsmedia.com/scapa.htm#SCAPA174
Note: Single use floor coverings (vinyl or similar) are not permitted. Painting, nailing or drilling of the building floor is not permitted.
Furniture
A selection of furniture package options is available to exhibitors. Use the Exhibitor Furniture Order Form to place your order; all orders are due with your booth design on August 21, 2026.
Note: Exhibitors who would like a waste basket in their booth can pick one up at the registration desk during move-in.
Onsite Changes and Additions
If you wish to make changes and additions to your booth design onsite, please see a member of the show management team at the onsite order desk. A ticket will be opened with the onsite contractors, and they will visit booths in ticket order to complete the work requested. Galleries must pay for onsite orders before they are completed, only VISA, MasterCard, Amex and Debit will be accepted. All changes are subject to Show Management approval and availability from onsite contractors to complete this work.
Note: In the unlikely event that your booth was not built to the exact specifications of your Final Booth Design you will not be charged to have the booth corrected to match your Final Booth Design. Please visit the order desk as soon as possible to notify us of the issue.
Note: If you add a light fixture onsite that is included in your booth package, but wasn't allocated as part of your final booth design you will still be charged the onsite rate for the light addition labour. Orders are subject to onsite availability and cannot be guaranteed. Please consider your total included amount of lights when finalizing your booth design. Be sure to place orders in advance by the August 21, 2026 deadline.
