The RBC Community Gallery
Helping Canadian artists gain exposure to the widest possible audience motivates RBC to share its art collection with galleries and public spaces worldwide. To further support and amplify the works of Canadian artists, RBC recently established the first permanent, public-facing display of its art collection, the RBC Community Gallery, located at RBC Plaza, 200 Bay St. in Toronto, and is free for all visitors.
Current Exhibition: Archives of Influence
The artworks presented in Archives of Influence are connected by themes and artistic approaches that endure generations. Senior and historical artists are presented alongside emerging and contemporary artists exploring subjects of landscape, technology and architecture. Contemporary artists pull inspiration from aesthetic, familial and ethereal sources, looking to the future, while acknowledging the past.
The artworks presented here are part of the RBC Art Collection, established in 1929 and actively growing. The collection consists of historic and contemporary Canadian, Indigenous and Inuit art, with a focus on acquiring work by emerging artists.
Support of the Visual Arts
RBC is steadfast in our support of Canada’s Art Community because together; artists, galleries, art institutions and organizations play a unique and fundamental role in helping to foster vibrant and innovative communities across our country.
