Everything Must Go
Curated by Jeremy Laing Everything Must Go takes the form of a mini-department store or luxury boutique. Housed within the Fair, this shop-in-shop is outfitted with work engaging with the forms, manners and aesthetic of mercantile display and salesmanship. Everything is art and anything can be bought. The boutique features work by Toronto’s Young & Giroux, Derek Sullivan and Montréal’s Valérie Blass.

Buy Early, Buy Young
Friday October 30 | 6pm
Join AXA Art Insurance, Manny Neubacher and Anya Shor as they de-mystify the process of beginning, building and caring for a collection. The discussion and tour will focus on art under 5000 CND in order to give audience the opportunity to view attainable pieces at the lower end of the price scale but still providing aspiring examples of perhaps larger pieces at the higher end that are still within reason for a novice collector. Presented by AXA Art Insurance.
