You need to improve your social media profile. I realize you may have resource shortages (staff and $$) but this is so important for audiences these days. There is currently a great show on the gallery and I'm trying to refresh my memory as to it's title, the artists and organization involved and there's nothing on the website or instagram. ( I don't do Facebook so I don't know about that venue). I was wanting to send info by DM on instagram and couldn't find anything. It's the African Canadian Pride exhibition that's about's about a celebration of a Goddess and involves men dressing up as women in elaborate masked costumes and dancing that I'm talking about. I would have given 5 stars if I wasn't so frustrated about getting info on your current exhibition - even a link to the artists involved would help!

Another hidden gem of downtown Toronto. This beautiful gallery is inclosed within the St. Lawrence Market and is easy to miss in this bustling place. But if you look up from the market's upper level, you'll see the distinctive building which is actually a remnant (council chamber) of the Toronto's first city hall - (which now houses the gallery). It is free to visit (along with the other 9 city of Toronto museum sites) and is open from Wednesday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm. Currently (winter of 2023) there is an exhibit dedicated to the annual Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, which takes place every summer in front of the (new) City Hall, showcasing artwork purchased by former mayors of Toronto. 60 very interesting and thought provoking pieces are on display (different media, including photography, oil, watercolour, acrylic and mixed media). Staff is very welcoming, knowledgeable and happy to share the history of the building and facts about current exhibits. The gallery also contains some memorabilia, like the original mayor's chair. If you would like to see more pictures about the city and its history check out the photographs in the food court on the lower level of the St. Lawrence Market (under the gallery). I really recommend visiting this place - a nice break from the super busy market (and you get an awesome vista of it from the gallery windows). I wish the gallery was advertised more, as probably not that many of the market's visitors are aware that this little treasure is just steps away. and it's free!

Most people probably don't know these art gallery exist on the second floor. At the moment lots of the paintings feature a Toronto base theme, there is no entry fee though I see donations are accepted.

I've seen to so many great shots that have been put on here over the years, historical Toronto photos, the CNE and just before COVID, the streetArToronto exhibit. I just can't find info on who the curator is for the space.

Nice collection of local pieces; very small room though and extremely hidden.
