The Ministry of Artistic Affairs is a new initiative I’ve launched with two partners based here in Toronto. The goal of this program is to provide a unique insight into the art market by curating a series of informative and interactive events exploring multiple facets of the art scene. We had our first event on April 7, 2010, at Show & Tell Gallery in Toronto. Though it was a crappy rainy night more than 70 people showed up to learn about The Ministry and take part in a discussion with NYC artist Greg Lamarche.

Through The Ministry, members access a program of events that include studio visits with rising and established local artists, intimate visits with notable collectors, exclusive gallery exhibition previews, film screenings, talks and panel discussions with published art thinkers, and group art fair excursions. The Ministry offers an informative and creative social environment for young professionals to network and explore the enrichment of collecting and supporting the arts.

For more information, please see our website at www.ministryofartisticaffairs.com. Though The Ministry is a members-only social network, everyone is welcome to join. The Ministry values diversity.

Here is the invite we sent out for the first event:
