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: Tectonics
The exhibition Tectonics examines current, past, and future technological shifts and how they impact our environments and reveal generational cycles. Some artworks utilize Artificial Intelligence, holograms, or codification to drive their aesthetic ends. These tech-driven concepts function in contrast to other artworks that reveal the power of nature and humans, depict imagined landscapes constructed from historical narratives, or introduce ideas on speculative futures.
If you are local to or visiting Toronto, you can visit Tectonics at the RBC Community Gallery through Fall 2026.
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.
