Galerie Robertson Arès

Galerie Robertson Arès is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2019 with a focus on bold and innovative aesthetics. It represents over twenty emerging and established artists of international caliber, including many talents of Canadian origin.

The gallery occupies a completely renovated building located on rue Notre-Dame in the heart of the Petite Bourgogne district. The main exhibition space is a bright minimalist “white cube” space which hosts a diverse, vibrant and refined programming of individual and collective exhibitions. The lower floor features a secondary exhibition room reserved for more intimate presentations and experimental practices. In addition to participating in a selection of local and international fairs, Robertson Arès organizes an annual “pop-up” exhibition in Downtown Toronto.

Possessing over 15 years of experience in the Canadian and American art markets, gallery founders Emily Robertson and François Arès are actively involved in the Montreal and Canadian art scenes. Emily Robertson is Treasurer of the Association of Contemporary Art Galleries of Canada and President of the Société de développement du Boulevard St-Laurent. François Arès is part of the official Art Toronto Jury. Rachel Vincent-Clarke, director of the gallery since 2023, sits on the Editorial Committee of Magazine Ligne and is a member of the Honorary Committee of Les Impatients.
