About the Art Bank
The Canada Council Art Bank makes contemporary artwork available to a wide public across the country through our three programs: corporate art rental, loans to museums and outreach. With more than 17,000 artworks by over 3,000 artists, the Art Bank has the largest collection of contemporary Canadian art anywhere. It houses paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs and prints by emerging and established artists, including a significant number of Indigenous artworks. The entire collection can now be explored on our website.
