Announcing the Selected Galleries of Discover, Presented by RBC, at Art Toronto 2024

Art Toronto is delighted to announce the 2024 galleries selected for Discover, presented by RBC. This program, co-created by Art Toronto and RBC, offers galleries exhibiting at the fair unparalleled opportunities to spotlight emerging artists, as well as artists who are reemerging, to new audiences. Eight galleries were selected by a committee made up of Stefan Hancherow, RBC Curator; Mia Nielsen, Director, Art Toronto and Rhéanne Chartrand, Art Toronto Focus Exhibition Curator and the Hatch Curator of Indigenous Art & Culture, ROM.

At the 2024 edition of Art Toronto, these galleries from across Canada and the United States will forge meaningful connections between their emerging artists and influential audiences such as curators and collectors, providing invaluable opportunities for their artistic journey.

“On behalf of the selection committee, I'm thrilled to announce the lineup of selected galleries for the Discover program, presented by RBC,” says Mia Nielsen, Director, Art Toronto. “These galleries showcases a broad spectrum of works across various media, representing both national and international artists, with Canadian and US galleries participating. It's a privilege for Art Toronto to collaborate with RBC once again in providing a platform to highlight remarkable emerging artists at Canada's Art Fair this fall.”

“This year’s applicants brought forward an impressive and diverse range of artists coupled with considered curatorial concepts.” Says Stefan Hancherow, RBC Curator, “the presence of both emerging and re-emerging practices was paramount in the jury’s final selection. A sincere thank you to all the applicants for your thoughtful proposals this year and your continued advocacy for artists. RBC is excited to see the Discover section reach broader audiences and continue to support the artists and galleries where we live and work.”

“RBC Wealth Management is pleased to continue our sponsorship of Art Toronto,” says David Agnew, CEO of RBC Wealth Management. “This important event provides the opportunity for us to introduce our clients to renowned gallerists and curators, and to discover some of Canada’s most promising emerging artists as they launch their careers.”
