For this edition of Design Scout, we toured the recent 2010 Art Toronto fair with Anya Shor and Manny Neubaucher, otherwise known as the Art Stylists, an art-consulting duo who work with private clients and such Toronto hot spots as Böhmer and Brassaii to place art into the perfect setting. Shor and Neubacher are always on the hunt for up-and-coming talent, so we asked them to show us 10 Canadian artists for new collectors to invest in now. The following slide show includes pieces that would complement many design schemes, all priced at $9,000 or less.
A compendium of the latest store openings, hottest parties and runway shows and all the buzzy fashion gossip. Sign up for the Style newsletter for weekly updates

There’s a group out there called Ministry of Artistic Affairs. It’s a group of people of all sorts who want to learn about contemporary art – learning, buying, artist talks, etc. Learning about art through social events.
