Artist-Run Centres (ARCs) are galleries and production spaces developed and managed by artists. Most centres follow the not-for-profit model, do not charge admission, pay artists fees for their contributions and de-emphasize sales. ARCs present contemporary art by Canadian and international artists (visual and media arts, performance art, publishing, contemporary craft and architecture). Exhibitions are often accompanied by critical writing and publishing—in combination with lectures, performances, screenings, etc. There are currently over 190 artist-run centres and collectives in cities and towns across Canada. Each ARC has its own mandate and cultural identity, providing unique and significant artistic benefits to each community.

Artists' Cooperatives are collectives of artists who pool their resources to meet common economic, social and/or cultural needs. This is often done through jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprises. These enterprises may be for profit or non-profit—including, for example, the sharing of studio spaces with retail operations. That said, many artists maintain their own studios, some of which are open to the public. Those with business hours (which may include calling in advance to make an appointment) are noted here.

Canadian art dealers represent the country’s leading artists and deal in works of all periods and media. They also promote and sell works by renown international artists. The generic term "Canadian art" refers to the visual arts (including painting, photography and printmaking) as well as plastic arts (such as sculpture and other three dimensional works) originating from within the geographical boundaries of Canada. Art in Canada also represents a dialogue with Indigenous peoples and how best to document and spotlight their creative practices. Individual art dealers often congregate in gallery "districts" within larger cities and regions—creative hubs that are often walking distance from public galleries, museums and artist-run centres.
Art Walks are events that involve walking or wandering between art galleries, artists studios, artists collectives and the like. They may be commercially driven by commercial galleries, or community driven by not-for-profit organizations. Ether way, they're wonderful community events that support emerging and established artists.
Art Markets and Studio tours take place in cities, towns and tourist regions across the country. Fall, Spring, and Summer tours and/or markets are common. They're often organized by community based groups of artists and craftspeople, and present a wide range of original work. They offer opportunities to personally meet artists, discover new talent and chat with artists about their creative practices.
