Prior to starting AT Art & Interiors, Allison Thompson was a co-founder of Artlink Canada. At Artlink Canada, Allison showcased and managed over ten exhibitions across Canada. These exhibitions were curated based on a theme, type of artworks and the type of gallery space. Different gallery spaces were utilized to display and show clientele how different types of artwork look in a variety of spaces. Allison also created a documentary for her first exhibition with Artlink Canada entitled, "East Meets West", to demonstrate the process of visiting an artist in their studio and the work that goes into creating a high end piece of art.
