What We Do

Art Acquisition
The Varley Art Gallery’s founding art collection began with Kathleen McKay’s donation of 67 works, including many of F.H. Varley’s works. Beyond the 67 original works, we have supported the acquisition over 50 works of art on behalf of the Varley Art Gallery. Today, the Gallery’s holding currently stands at over 1,100 works of art.

Conservation of Art Collection
We provide the financial support to assist the Varley Art Gallery in the preservation, conservation and proper storage of their vast collection for future generations to study and enjoy.

Educational Support
We work with the Varley Art Gallery to make art more accessible to school groups and the general public. Our volunteer program supports the Gallery’s education team, providing tours to education groups. We also provide the financial means to sustain the Gallery’s Lunch and Learn program.

Exhibition and Program Research
Through our support, Varley Art Gallery of Markham employees are able to participate in seminars, conferences, and other learning opportunities to engage and exchange with other institutions.
