AGAC’s annual report draws up an assessment of the Association’s unifying and stimulating projects, as well as its actions and advances. This reference document is a great illustration of the AGAC’s efforts to defend the interests of its members and to develop initiatives that contribute to the acknowledgement and prosperity of the contemporary art market in Canada. The report is presented at the AGAC’s Annual General Meeting. It is an important source of information for both our members and the many cultural workers interested in the vitality of the art market and private galleries.
