Mercer Union Gallery
As a resident and realtor that lives in the Bloor and Lansdowne area I thought I would like to start a project of documenting the changes that are taking place in my neighbourhood. I also wanted this to be a space where people could discuss these changes as
well as post any new gallery, restaurant or event happenings.
I find this to be a fascinating neighbourhood full of diversity and
colour. Feel free to post your thoughts and ideas as well as photos or videos if you have.
Starving Artist
Just opened as of June 2 2009 is Starving Artist at 584 Lansdowne Ave. A restaurant featuring sweet and savory waffles, great coffee and local art. It has a hip vibe and is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood.
Toronto Free Gallery
I'm playing a little catch-up with these pics.
Here we have an art opening at the gallery that started it all on Bloor/Lansdowne - The Toronto Free Gallery.
They have a great space in the front as well as a fun party and gallery space in the back. After an opening a DJ usually spins music late into the evening.
Toronto Free is located at 1277 Bloor St West and their site and events can be found at: http://www.torontofreegallery.org/
Paul Bright Gallery
The Paul Bright Gallery - located at 1265 Bloor St West.
I believe they sell American Art exclusively and you can correct me if I'm wrong. It's a little more low key than the other galleries but their art is always very interesting.
You can check out their website and upcoming shows at: http://paulbrightgallery.com/
Mercer Union Gallery
Mercer Union Gallery scored big by leasing a big beautiful space on the corner of Bloor and St Clarens. Taking over what used to be a dollar store they did a painstaking renovation which is almost complete. They are still working on the exterior of the building. It is a gorgeous space and you can pop in any time to view the art.
Upcoming events and exhibitions can be found at: http://www.mercerunion.org/
