Art Toronto 2024

From Thursday, October 24 to Sunday, October 27, 2024 – Art Toronto presents the 25th edition of its annual art exhibition at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and various galleries around Toronto, offering a unique opportunity for art lovers and collectors to connect with artists and artworks from all over the world.

The oldest & largest international art fair in Canada

Each year, Art Toronto showcases 100+ national and international galleries, installations, project spaces and more. This year’s lineup includes galleries from cities across Canada, as well as New York, London, Amsterdam, Reykjavík, Buenos Aires, Seoul and more.

The Opening Night party on Thursday, October 24 is a benefit for The McMichael Canadian Art Collection (Kleinburg, ON), and includes exclusive access and perks for attendees. The Focus Exhibition, the place to which we return, was curated by Métis curator Rhéanne Chartrand, currently Hatch Curator of Indigenous Art & Culture at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), and features artworks from participating Art Toronto galleries. Installations, on display at various galleries around Toronto, include works by Kim Adams, Nicholas Crombach, Sami Tsang and more. And Platform Talks, curated by Vancouver-based freelance curator and writer Emily Butler, are a series of conversations featuring art experts from across Canada and around the world. Platform Talks are free with admission to the fair.

”As a Canadian arts organization, we are dedicated to supporting the vibrancy, diversity and wellbeing of artists, makers, curators, gallerists and collectors from across the country, including First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, alongside immigrant communities who have gathered here from around the world. We are committed to sharing their work and stories with fellow Canadians and international audiences.”
