Launched in March 2020, Art Volt is a platform that offers a wide array of programs aimed at supporting the professionalization of recent alumni of Concordia University’s Faculty of Fine Arts. Art Volt focuses on initiatives and tools to better equip Concordia’s creative practitioners as they transition out of their academic degree and embark on new projects. The objective is to reinforce the knowledge and practices gained by students during their degree, while providing real-world experiences, connections and paid opportunities to kickstart their professional lives.
Art Volt activities are divided into 4 main categories: The Collection, Mentorship, Professional Training, and Residencies. Our Online Toolbox complements the training we provide, and that is available to everyone.

The Collection
Modeled as a lean startup, the Art Volt Collection (AVC) is a professional, juried sales and rental marketplace for recently graduated artists from Concordia’s Faculty of Fine Arts. Launched in May 2022, it provides cohort-based training on the basics of building a commercial career, while connecting artists with collectors interested in up-and-coming talent. The AVC features artists and their work on a professional online gallery, and builds publics by brokering art sales and rentals through an e-commerce interface with minimum overhead costs, while ensuring the tracking and preservation of artworks for posterity.
