Art and Inspiration

Rated this place:

The newly renovated AGO, is a fabulous destination for a date, an afternoon walk, time for thought or a family afternoon. Yes, there are beautiful galleries of old and new art plus quiet space, but also plenty of interactive exhibits, modern works and gorgeous architecture. Both the cafe and Frank restaurant offer fresh, clean, local menus for every palette and the gift shop supports many local artists and is great for browsing!

Wonderful

Cheap art date

Rated this place:

The Art Gallery of Ontario is always a good for a first date because there’s no end of conversation starters, especially now with the great Frank Gehry redesign and transformation of the building. And on Wednesday evening’s there’s free admission from 6:00 - 8:30, making it a great cheap date! If you’re having fun and want to extend your visit, you can always follow up your tour of the gallery with a drink or a bite to eat in Frank, the AGO restaurant. On days other than Wednesdays, it still makes a reasonably priced date, with adult entry prices of $18 ($10 for students.)

Wednesday nights after 6 pm is free! The renovation is stunning - which is nice after the disappointing ROM opening.

Rated this place:

I love it for being open to everyone and having kickass exhibitions (I missed Andy Warhol and was very sad). They are also free Wednesday nights.

Gift shop, Great art

Rated this place:

A large part of the jewelry collection is by local artists and the designs are quite unique. There's also a wonderful selection of art books (great for gifts or follow-up from a good gallery tour).

Worth a visit....or two or three....to one of the top cultural institutions in the city. The reno will be complete in November and then the AGO will no doubt be in a league of its own in architecture as well as in content.
