We are lovers of Canadian art and we seek to share our passion with the world. Through the acquisition of new works and their showing in its corporate offices world-wide, the Senvest Collection of New Canadian Art encourages the appreciation of Canadian art internationally. The Senvest Collection is open to submissions from individuals and galleries across Canada.
This young collection is also embarking on a special mission: in order to build a strong, ongoing relationship with the contemporary Canadian visual arts community, Senvest curators will follow an evolving body of work with a view to acquiring more than one piece per artist. In this way, the Collection will offer a rare perspective of artists' careers as they develop over time.
Senvest takes great satisfaction in showcasing its Canadian art around the globe. Works in the collection are on permanent display on the Senvest Collection website as well as in corporate offices in the following cities: Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Boston, New York, San Francisco, San Diego, Tel Aviv , Madrid and Buenos Aires.
The Senvest Collection committee meets at least twice each year to view new works. Additional meetings are scheduled as necessary. Candidates are invited to apply at any time and as often as they wish with new material each time. The selection process unfolds in two steps:
1) Preliminary selection sets apart works which we ask be temporarily reserved;
2) Final selection determines which works will be purchased for the collection.
The Senvest Collection considers art in all media. Senvest asks that each artist submit at least three works for consideration, but no more than 10. Submissions must comprise the following all on one CD, please do not send printed documents:
- JPEG images of works submitted saved as "ArtistName_Title.jpg" (please do not number the images);
- a detailed list of the works including title, size, medium, year and price;
- a brief artist's statement including career highlights, year and city of birth (not more than 150 words) and artist's curriculum vitae.
Galleries submitting on behalf of more than one artist should include individual artist folders on the same CD.
All submissions are confidential.
Submissions must be sent by mail to:
