Welcome to the 2010 Toronto International Art Fair. RBC Wealth Management
is honoured to again be the presenting sponsor of the Fair as it celebrates its 11th
exciting year.
The growth and success of the Fair over the past decade is a testament to the
vibrant Canadian and international art scene, the passion of artists and collectors,
and the dedication of those who devote their time and energy to making this show
a reality.
By bringing together the contemporary art world’s dealers, buyers and artists,
this event speaks to the importance of relationships. It is through our own focus
on building strong and lasting relationships with our clients that RBC Wealth
Management has grown to be one of the world’s premier wealth management firms.
RBC has a proud legacy of support for culture and the arts. Over the last ten years,
the RBC Foundation has donated over $30 million to support Arts and Cultural
organizations across Canada. The RBC Canadian Painting Competition, now in its
12th year, helps discover and support promising new artists in the early stages
of their career, a time when they need both recognition and financial support.
And since 1929, the RBC Corporate Art Collection has assisted Canadian artists
by purchasing their works. Today, more than 4,000 distinguished art pieces now
reside in the collection, and from time to time RBC will exhibit works from our
collection in various Canadian institutions, allowing the public to enjoy them.
On behalf of the 12,000 RBC Wealth Management employees in over 20 countries
around the world, I am pleased to extend best wishes for success to the contributors
and organizers of Art Toronto 2010, and invite all visitors to enjoy this celebration
of contemporary art.
George Lewis, Group Head
RBC Wealth Management
