Wedge Collection

The Wedge Collection was established in 1997 in Toronto by Dr. Kenneth Montague. It is one of Canada’s largest privately owned collections of contemporary artworks that explore African diasporic culture and contemporary Black life.

Originally conceived as The Wedge Gallery, Montague’s original exhibition space was literally wedged inside the narrow hallways of his home.

Today, the Wedge Collection comprises over 400 original works by artists from Canada, the UK, the US and throughout the Diaspora. The collection also includes an extensive catalogue of resource materials, including books/art journals/newspapers/exhibition and artist documentation, and many works have been loaned to international exhibitions.
