Art Gallery

The space is amazing, the staff is so nice and relaxed. The coffee is awesome and the artwork is spectacular. I actually bought something and I never buy from galleries. I couldn't believe how friendly and engaging the girl we spoke with was. Its a real hidden gem tucked away behind living lighting on King down this driveway. The work is really reasonable. I plan on going back if only to say hello and look at what new stuff they have (and most likely buy a glass peice I saw...)

The artwork was amazing (and there was a ton of it and all different kinds - really beautiful glass art too), the two girls that have helped me where so friendly and they offer you really good coffee while you walk around. The building is gorgeous and they have a ton of work that is really affordable. I didn't feel intimidated at all and have gone back 5 times just to see new artwork. I highly recommend this place whether you need art or just love it!

Studio 1234 is a small but inviting gallery located at 1234 College St., Toronto. The curator/owner of the gallery Lucinda Knowlton, a working artist, is very warm and friendly, which is quite a breath of fresh air in such a large city.

If you’re at Queen’s Park to get your passport or renew your driver’s licence, why not take in some contemporary art at the same time? Open 10am-6pm, Monday to Friday, the John B. Aird Gallery is hidden on the first floor of the government buildings at 900 Bay St, south of Wellesley. Open since 1975, they hold 12 exhibitions a year, showcasing living Canadian artists, and they also hold regular juried shows. I showed a quilt there once and won a prize! http://www.airdgallery.org/index.html

Most days, I have to stay the hell away from this place because I could spend my entire paycheck buying things that are neither rent nor groceries. All the Ugly Dolls, Gloomy Bears and Malfis in the world won’t feed me. Unless I ate them, I suppose. Hmm. I digress: occasionally I let myself mosey along Queen West just to see the groovy art exhibits on display in the back of the store. Marvelous art book selection, great place to buy gifts for quirky, creative friends. http://www.magic-pony.com

Don't be fooled. Uniforms Registered is not a manufacturer or distributor of uniforms. It is actually a mysterious art museum. I love Ydessa Hendeles' Art Foundation at King & Bathurst because it's not ashamed to be weird. It keeps weird hours and it houses weird pieces and it's unabashedly contemporary and feminist in the majority of its content. I first saw Shirin Neshat's video art there, and Jenny Holzer's benches. It's only open about 5 hours a week, but is well worth the wait.

They are redoing the gallery to open up more of the collections.

the shows are always interesting

There are a number of first class galleries in the area so you can see a lot of art in one day.

This is THE place for photo lovers who want to see the best in contemporary photography.
