Art Toronto, which celebrates its 25th edition this year, is Canada's largest international art fair. More than 100 national and international galleries will present their artists' work in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre North (October 24-27), including large-scale installations, such as Douglas Coupland’s Lighting Rod, presented by Daniel Faria Gallery.
