Hi Ray Anne,
I'm including a link to Nick Forrester's Art Market blog, which
recently featured Canadian art. While this is written from an art
market perspective, it has a lot of great information about artists,
movements, important exhibitions, and recent auctions that would help
in understanding current trends in Canadian art. Hope this helps.

Best,
