The C.C.C.
The Contemporary Collectors Club is a private members society that is currently still in its infancy. The society was formed to allow like minded individuals, wishing to play a larger part in the art market to meet, network and mingle.
As I’m sure many of you are aware, the Art Market is a very small world, where power and play tends to remain within certain hands and certain circles.
However the “Taste Makers” today were once just like the members of the Contemporary Collectors Club. They were dedicated, committed and prepared to work for what they wanted.
The Contemporary Collectors Club aims to make participation within the art market both interesting and exciting. Our events will become places where members can network, share ideas, discuss new artists and investments as well as socialize within a group of like minded intellegent people. We aim to increase our social network and thus develop a strong and dependable bond within the Society.
In 2007 we plan to meet in both New York and London. The CCC will also try and unite members who are visting Art Fairs, and travelling internationally. We will also be recommending new artists that are a must see, Galleries collectors cant afford to miss and up and comming exhibitions.

This is the first i have come across the C.C.C. and would like to commend you all for taking such inniciative in a market as compeditive as Contemporary Art.
Most importantly i wanted to re-iderate the final statement made regarding the importance of up-and-coming artists. I find this especially important in the Canadian Art market, as publicity is hard to come by for those who have not established their noteriety amoung the American or international art scenes.
I also see that by this comment those members of the C.C.C. would be interested in the up-coming exhibition of the young Canadian painter Kim Dorland, entitled Over the Fence at Skew Gallery in Calgary, Alberta, Sept.6-Oct.6, 2007.
Recently Dorland has gained a great deal of interest overseas with increased sales in Italy during his second solo exhibition at Bonelli Art Contemporanea, and was recently selected as a featured artist for Scope Basel 2007. This adds to the list of art fairs Dorland has already particpated in for the last 4 years which currently include: Scope New York, artLA, Scope Miami and the Toronto International Art Fair.
If there are members interested in the artwork of Kim Dorland, or who would like more information regarding this exhibition, please feel welcome to visit the website of Skew Gallery- http://www.skewgallery.com, or email Emily Barnett at: info@skewgallery.com
