Company Description:

SAVAC is a Toronto-based, artist-run, nonprofit organization dedicated to the development and presentation of new works in contemporary visual art by artists of South Asian* origin. SAVAC does not have a permanent gallery. As a collective, we produce exhibitions, an international lecture series, and educational projects in collaboration with artist-run-centres, museums, educational institutions and community organizations to integrate South Asian artists in the contemporary art sector. We promote the work of emerging artists, and expose Canada to the work of leading international artists, critics and curators. By critically engaging in artistic and curatorial practice, SAVAC seeks to achieve an international reputation for excellence in programming for diverse audiences.

*South Asians are people who can trace their ancestry back to countries of the Indian subcontinent: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka
