Canada’s Story.

The Impact of Collecting

How Buying Canadian Art Supports the Creative Economy

What a single purchase (either buying or renting) on Partial makes possible, from the artists to the collectors.

The Artist

Being part of the artist community at Partial Gallery has given me a sense of oneness with the arts world in Toronto. Their team has provided tremendous care and human support each step of the way for me in navigating the arts in the West, with new visions and new views for artist development and artwork creation.
June Tenzin

The Collector

I was thrilled to find an organization/platform that made it easy to rent quality art locally. My experience renting art and interacting with a couple of artists has been great and I plan to continue.
Rose Kudlac

The Artist

I joined Partial nearly a decade ago and have watched our relationship evolve across many meaningful projects together. As a disabled, neurodivergent, queer artist of colour, I have found that sustained belief especially meaningful. The opportunities have allowed me to reinvest directly in my work and continue building an interdisciplinary career.
Kyle Yip

Industry Partner

Partial has been an outstanding partner in bringing the OCAD U Artist Showcase to life. The Showcase continues to expand visibility for participants, meaningfully support creative careers and strengthen the connection between OCAD U talent and new audiences.
Zev Farber, OCAD University

The Artist

Partial staff work tirelessly to promote the work of local artists in a wide variety of ways. Because of their passion, ambition, and conviction of the value of artists, I have had so many amazing opportunities and art sales. Supporting Partial is support for hundreds of creatives and for art itself.
Lorette C. Luzajic

Corporate Client

Partial Gallery has been a wonderful partner in bringing art into our space - their platform makes it easy to discover and showcase work by talented Canadian artists. The art has transformed our office, sparking conversation and inspiring our teams every day.
