Art Collecting

Author Ashley Mulvihill / Category Art Info / Published: May 22, 2019

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for our first panel discussion on 'A Beginners Guide to Art Collecting'.

We covered a lot and I hope that this consolidated list of select resources will help with the development of your art collection. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at ash@nintheditions.com if you're looking for additional information or have any questions.

NB: This is primarily for a Toronto-based audience, but we've also included international resources under the ONLINE heading. Do check back as I will continue to add to these lists.

  • There are simply too many artists to list individually under this section, but we encourage you to use social media to follow your favourite artists and if you see a piece they've posted - reach out! Buying directly from the artist is totally an option (for most emerging artists) and if they have gallery representation they can connect you directly to their dealer to speak about that specific piece.
