About Art Collision
Founded in 2019 by Candice Dan, Art Collision is a Toronto-based digital agency specializing in services for the art market.
Our Story
We create digital infrastructures that respect the nuances of the art world. Unlike generalist designers & developers, we understand the intricacies of exhibiting art.
Since 2019, we have collaborated under contract with prestigious institutions including OCAD University and the Université de l'Ontario français. In the field of immersive media, we have worked with META, Art Gate VR, Radiance VR, and most recently KrakXR. Our virtual reality exhibitions have brought together hundreds of users for art discovery, networking, and sales.
In parallel, we provide ongoing support and maintenance for a roster of around ten artists, keeping their websites up to date as new milestones arise — art fairs, exhibitions, publications, and other events. This close-knit relationship with our clients is central to our approach: we are committed to delivering a responsive, human, and tailored service built on lasting partnerships.
"Candice Houtekier (Dan) is not only an exemplary visionary who understands the currencies of our time. With her pronounced sense for design and style she has created my utmost beautiful website. I highly appreciate her capability listening to her client's needs and expectations. Candice works fast with focus and enthusiasm to accomplish her projects. Her creative expertise results in an interactive, yet outstanding structured and organized streamline web design. I couldn't find a better web designer than Candice Houtekier."
