The Kalaman Group was founded in 2013 by Megan Kalaman and a team of emerging art professionals with a shared commitment to the thoughtful care and stewardship of fine art. What began as a small practice supporting a handful of private collectors has evolved into a nationally recognized firm with teams across Western, Central, and Eastern Canada. Over the past 13 years, we’ve built a reputation for our depth of knowledge and
specialized approach in collection management. Our expertise is shaped by years of working closely with collectors, artists, and institutions across Canada on some of the most nuanced challenges in the field of fine art stewardship.
