For its first edition, Feature will welcome 23 leading contemporary art galleries selected by an advisory committee of influential Canadian experts. Presented from October 23 to 26, this new art fair dedicated exclusively to cutting edge contemporary art will bring together artists whose practices are outstanding for their ability to innovate, challenge and inspire.<\/p>\n

With an audacious exhibition design and with each gallery presenting a maximum of three artists, Feature will provide visitors with a fresh and exciting perspective on contemporary art. The innovative layout of the fair will generate a dynamic presentation space and will foster dialogue between the artworks on display, thus creating an intimate and unique viewer experience.<\/p>\n

From Murray Whyte’s article at the Toronto Star (October 24, 2014), Feature Art Fair, a shot across Art Toronto\u2019s bow: “<\/em> When asked if she sees Feature as competitive, Susannah Rosenstock, the fair\u2019s director\u00a0says, ‘I think we have different goals. Every art fair is exclusive to a certain degree. I think it\u2019s really just an indication that the market for art here has matured and grown, and that\u2019s good for everyone. Anything that helps people get excited about art here is a good thing.’ … Stephen Bulger, the Toronto photography dealer, is participating in both fairs and sees the benefits of each. ‘Art Toronto has done a really great job of introducing Toronto to the idea of art fairs,’ he said. ‘Once you get to a certain size, how much bigger can you get? That\u2019s why this works. Having two respectable fairs is the sign of a sophisticated market.”<\/p>\n
