As the fall season approaches, art fair hoppers around the world will be planning their next stops, which makes Art Toronto an exciting destination for those looking for the best in Canadian and international art. Canada’s largest art fair is returning for its 24th edition from October 26-29 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
Art Toronto is home to over 100 galleries, ranging from the best in Canada to some of the hottest names in the international market. This year’s lineup includes Patel Brown, Cooper Cole, Daniel Faria, Night Gallery, Catriona Jeffries, Galerie Hugues Charbonneau, Royale Projects, Fazakas Gallery, Pangée, and Galerie Pici, among many others. The art fair offers an opportunity for collectors to connect with emerging talent at pre-market prices. Art Toronto Director Mia Nielsen is re-imagining Toronto’s place within the art world and growing her vision of creating the most anticipated fair in North America.
This year, legendary curator Kitty Scott has joined the team and will curate the fair’s 2,000-square-foot “Focus” exhibition. The exhibition will present new, ambitious artworks by artists shown at the fair alongside important historical work. All works featured in “Focus” will be for sale. Scott’s decades-long career with Canada’s leading art institutions makes her one of the most respected curators in Canada.
In keeping with the goal of acting as a springboard for young talent, Art Toronto is launching Discover, a new section dedicated to exhibitions of work by emerging artists. Presented by principal partner RBC, Discover aims to create opportunities for galleries to showcase the dynamic practices of up-and-coming artists and to introduce them to new audiences.
The art fair is a must-see destination for those interested in discovering the best of Canadian and international art. With Mia Nielsen’s vision and Kitty Scott’s curation, Art Toronto is redefining Toronto’s place in the art world. Don’t miss your chance to see the most anticipated art fair in North America.
