Curio Atelier is Toronto-based, working internationally with first-time collectors, interior designers, and businesses. We champion emerging artists that are women, self-taught, and BIPOC; and keep collecting affordable and livable. Our role is to connect artists with collectors and brands, pairing original artworks with vintage arts and objects and mid-century design for spaces that feel human.
