The <strong>Toronto</strong> International <strong>Art</strong> Fair is pleased to present its eighth annual lineup of stellar national and<br />
international galleries in conjunction with a dynamic program of special projects and educational<br />
initiatives at ART TORONTO 2007. This year’s participant list includes a record 100 galleries from 10<br />
countries each exhibiting an outstanding collection of artworks by some of the world finest artists.<br />
Our newest project “Open Spaces” features nine innovative project installations and multimedia<br />
works by single artists in an unprecedented 10,000 square feet of dedicated space. Contemporary art<br />
continues to take the limelight in the ever popular programs News at Five, T at Three and the special<br />
section Fresh Avant-Garde, where emerging trends, young artists and current issues are presented.<br />
Complementing the dialogue is the popular lecture series “Power Talks”. Organized by Gregory Burke<br />
and his team at The Power Plant Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> Gallery this series offers an exciting line-up of<br />
lectures and discussion panels by an influential group of international critics and curators.<br />
The growth and strength of the Fair resides in the continuous synergy of its various contributors and<br />
supporters. To each and every one I extend a warm welcome and a sincere expression of thanks. In<br />
particular I would like to acknowledge the loyalty of the Fair’s founding dealers and strategic partners<br />
who over the last eight years have invested in this long-term vision – we all owe them our gratitude.<br />
They are the cornerstones of cultural growth and the engines of opportunity for all audiences. Thank<br />
you.<br />
For the last eight years the Fair has partnered with the <strong>Art</strong> Gallery of Ontario to host our most<br />
important event: the Opening Night Preview. Orchestrated by a committee of hard working volunteers<br />
we applaud and thank this year’s team and event chair, Tamara Bahry-Paterson, for their support and<br />
enthusiasm. In addition I am pleased to announce that this year the AGO has committed a $50,000<br />
acquisition fund to purchase works by both emerging and established artists from participating<br />
galleries during the show. Sincere thanks to Matthew Teitelbaum and to everyone else at the AGO<br />
who helped make this partnership a resounding success.<br />
We are especially grateful to our two presenting sponsors Cadillac and RBS Wealth Management for<br />
their interest and contributions that benefit not only TIAF, but also the whole visual art community.<br />
In house I would like to acknowledge the return of Victoria Miachika to our team after a year<br />
sabbatical abroad and welcome our newest hardworking staff member Sarah Close. Personal heartfelt<br />
thanks to them for their hard work and dedication.<br />
Special thanks and warmest appreciation to Bob Mitchell and to all those behind the scenes who work<br />
tirelessly in ensuring the Fair is a continued success.<br />
To our visitors… Welcome! You are an active participant in this five-day visual feast and we thank you<br />
for your support and interest in the visual arts.<br />
