I love interesting art galleries. Visited Art Gallery of Ontario to squander a few hours while…read morevisiting Toronto. Nice day (it was raining) to spend inside and look at pretty sculptures. I absolutely loved the price point of the gallery and I loved that my ticket would last from opening until closing and that I would be able to leave and come back on that one ticket. Other galleries need to take heed to this. Really a self-guided tour through all exhibits with little interruptions from staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the Kusama exhibit, just wish I was able to stay inside longer than one minute (especially on a day like when I visited and the gallery was not exactly crowded). Enjoyed the exhibits outside as well and will definitely be back to see any new installations that may come.

Visited Arcadia Earth recently and overall had a good experience!…read more The space is beautifully designed with lots of immersive, photo-worthy rooms and a strong focus on environmental awareness. I love how they combine art + technology to teach about climate change in a way that's easy for kids to understand. The VR feature and interactive elements were fun, and it's definitely a great place for families or anyone looking for something different to do in Toronto. That said, for the price (~$39), it may feel a bit short for some people, and it's more of a "go once" type of experience. Still, I appreciate the message behind it and think it's worth checking out at least once--especially with kids!

Most exhibits have an opening reception where many times you can meet the artist and hear about their process. There are a few different galleries with changing exhibits. One is a very large space which is sometimes used for lectures and presentations. The museum is free. Easy access from the 190 but parking is limited. The volunteers and staff are helpful and knowledgeable. The exhibits are varied in styles. Right now there's one on tattoo artists and one on fairy tales and Greek mythology. I keep going back so I don't miss anything in this ever changing space.

This is a strange place--but in a very good way. The elegant neo-classical facade of the original…read moreclub is backed by a somewhat ghastly modern condo-tower. There are two desks in the lobby, one for the condos and one for the club (which occupies the first six floors of the tower). The club has a private elevator. The Institute guest rooms are huge, well-appointed, comfortable, and very reasonable in price for Toronto (even for a reciprocal like me--even cheaper for members). But best of all, even when the club is not serving food and drink (it was not when I stayed there on a Sunday, so I cannot speak to that aspect) guests have the run of the public rooms (some of them, alas, given over to catering: but that's club life these days) which are half museum and half club, including the magnificent library which may be the handsomest room in Canada. I spent an hour communing with Richthofen's fighter-plane seat, in a vitrine in one of the bars. And when club services are not offered, the club is profoundly silent: a joy in the chaotic stew of today's Toronto. I would go back just for that. Two things to remember: Food and drink (and indeed other people, other than the 24/7 concierge) are only available Wednesday-Saturday. But one of the densest collections of restaurants in the world surrounds the club. Despite the preserved facade, this is a modern building, and despite the Institute's attempt to make it as old-dark-wood, swords-and- pistols-on-the-walls, London military-clubby as possible, it feels like one. If you want old-world pomposity in your interiors, stay at the National Club.

The club was founded in 1890…read more The club is first class, in a brand new building.  The old club was falling down structurally and the members decided to take a chance years ago and allowed a large condo building to be erected and the club would get 6 floors in the building and the ability to purchase condos in the building above the club first before it was offered to others. It has all worked out very well and the club is thriving.  The wait staff was taken care of while we were closed and most were able to return to us afterward assuming they wanted to. The club has both men and women members and though the members originally consisted of officers of the Toronto Garrison; there is no longer any military requirement-though there is a very strong military presence in the club. There are many bedrooms, a fitness facility, dining rooms, bar, etc , a military museum and library.  To my knowledge- it is the largest private military library in North America. The RCMI has an extensive reciprocal list of maybe 250 of the top clubs in the world. The club is located on University Avenue and next door to the University Club of Toronto. Eaton Center is extensive shopping mall complex that is a couple of blocks away.

A fantastic look at the life and evolution of this wonderful group of artists.

In Buffalo and the entire Western New York region, everyone ought to know Charles E. Burchfield. I…read moream certain that those interested in art have heard of him as well. He's recognized as one of the most distinguished American painters. Charles Rand Penney was a Buffalo native who donated his collection of Western New York Art, including 183 works by Charles E. Burchfield. The Burchfield Penney Art Center is dedicated to works by Burchfield and by regional artists. You'll see those active in the previous and the contemporary century. The Burchfield Penney functions as a gallery and a museum, serving as an institution affiliated with the Buffalo State University. For this reason, many events are related to education and personal development. It is worth checking what is happening and which events align with your individual needs and interests. Either way, it is definitely a place worth visiting. It's New York's first green museum certified by the U.S. Green Building Council's (LEED) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. It's a two-story open and bright space, pretty great to be honest :). On the second Friday of every month, admission is free. "Be ready for special events, music, workshops, happy hours and more!" It's also free for Burchfield Penney members, Buffalo State University Students, Faculty & Staff, United States and Canada Active Military and their families, United States Military Veterans, ASI Arts Access Pass holders, and children and teens under 18 years old.
