Have you always wanted to know how to start an art collection? Do you have a few works by some of your favourite artists already and want to learn more? Are you interested in meeting other collectors? Leading up to the third edition of COMBINE Art Fair, COMBINATIONS connects emerging collectors with arts specialists in Metro Vancouver.

Join us in person at Griffin Art Projects for music, light refreshments and conversation with gallerist Wil Aballe (Wil Aballe Art Projects). 

Wil Aballe is the founder and director of Wil Aballe Art Projects | WAAP, established in 2013 and currently located in Strathcona. He is also a collector. The gallery’s core mandate is to promote West Coast emergent practices locally and globally, through art fairs in North America and Europe. The gallery co-founded COMBINE art fair and is a member of New Art Dealers Association (NADA), based in NYC.  Gallery artists have shown in domestic and international institutions and have been acquired in public and private collections worldwide. Late 2023, WAAP will be launching Annex, a new space in Yaletown. The gallery will initiate a program of exhibitions in Anderlecht in Brussels, Belgium starting April 2024

To attend, registration via Eventbrite is encouraged, but drop-ins are welcome! Refreshments and snacks provided.
