Last night we joined the Young Associates at the Vancouver Art Gallery for a behind the scenes tour of their Art REntals and Sales department. If you've always wanted to start an art collection but just don't have the means to do so then listen up. The Vancouver Art Rentals and Sales may be the solution for you.
The program was founded in 1952 by the Ladies Auxillary of the VAG and as only the second of its kind in North America, it was totally cutting edge....
In honour of International Women’s Day, we wanted to highlight a few females in the Canadian art world who you should keep your eye on. The visual arts have traditionally been an industry dominated by men, but more than ever before we find powerful ladies across the country in leading roles. Below are just a few young women whose names you should know as they have made, and continue to make, a strong impact in their field.

"i'm a young professional with both the money and desire to start and art collection in my home. i don't have time to go to all the galleries and wouldn't know where to start. last year, i went to the art for life auction and purchased my first piece - a painting by fiona ackerman. i plan on using theartmarket.ca to find other cool abstract paintings within my budget to furnish my new apartment! thanks kate & merete for creating theartmarket.ca."
