Since 2009, Art Toronto and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art have collaborated on the commission of a benefit edition by a Canadian artist. Each year the limited edition work is made available for sale exclusively at Art Toronto, and all proceeds from the sale goes to Mocca. This year it is Sarah Anne Johnson’s Gold Box.<\/em><\/p>\n

Around one thousand artists are represented at the fair, which is in it’s fourteenth year, and has galleries from all over the world. This is Canada’s only international art fair. It is mostly contemporary art but galleries like Loch Gallery or Miriam Shiel are showing historic works too (jack Bush painting, Lynn Chadwick sculpture).<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again the Toronto art fair has proven itself in being a well established venue attracting buyers from across Canada,\u201d said Alan Loch after the opening night,\u00a0\u201cOur sales tonight exceeded the sales from the opening night last year.\u00a0 This proves to us the continued interest in quality historical works of significance and established contemporary artists.\u201d Loch Gallery sold artwork for more than $3-million during first night of the annual art fair.<\/p>\n

Every year there are special projects that help define the fair and one such project is NEXT<\/strong>, sponsored by Toronto Life magazine.\u00a0\u00a0Visitors can locate them by\u00a0their red signs and they all contain works under $10,000 by emerging artists. The eighteen participating galleries are an international mix,\u00a0besides Canadian galleries, there are others from Mexico, Japan and Italy. The criteria\u00a0for emerging artist has changed lately, it could mean anyone who is just starting out in the art market regardless of his\/her age.<\/p>\n
