A Hidden Gem in Little Italy!…read more I love exploring art galleries, and The Local Gallery completely blew me away! The second you walk in, you're hit with this gorgeous, sleek "all-white everything" aesthetic,white walls, white floors, everything. It creates the absolute perfect backdrop because when the art displays are up, the colours and textures just completely pop. The concept here is amazing: it's entirely dedicated to local Canadian talent. The exhibition when I went was stunning, and I even got the chance to meet one of the actual artists right there in the space! The staff members were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which gave the space a warm, accessible atmosphere. It's a beautifully curated, smaller gallery, and the fact that it is free to visit is incredible. They do rotating exhibitions, so there's always something new to experience. I'm genuinely obsessed and cannot wait to go back!

He does a variety of paintings and wood sculptures evoking cottage-country motifs--well, actually, just fish. It's popular with Muskoka-commuting urbanites who want some "cottagey" decor that still has some artistic pedigree. I like the palette of his works; it's colourful, but at the same time, subdued. But I'm definitely not a big fan of fish, or arts & crafts stuff.

Once inside you need to wheel yourself around to see the art due to the narrowness of the space. Next there is a door dude to take your donation to the days festivities if applicable along with a small bar stand selling beer for $6 a tall boy. Out on the back patio there's an assortment of junk to possibly sit on to watch the show or enjoy the great outdoors similar to a trashy campsite. Juxtaposed onto general Chinatown landscape this is quite unusual. If you're nearby it's something different to check out.

Of course it is nothing compares to Toronto Home Show which charges a $20 entry fee. Here you will find mostly local business that serves the area.

Not a bad way to spend a few hour with your family as Children admission is free. They do have a child playing area with a bouncing castle.

My wife and I went to Canada from the US to the November 2019 show for Mathieu Laca at Thompson…read moreLandry Gallery. The show was great and Mathieu and the gallery owner were very kind. We ended up buying 2 Van Gogh pieces and 1 flower piece. I've purchased other pieces from Mathieu before the show. He is a talented artist, taking many of his portraits from existing pictures you can find on wikipedia and using lots of impasto. A few weeks later the crates arrive here in the US and the 42x48 Van Gogh is perfect! The 16x20 flower painting is perfect! The larger Van Gogh pic that was 72x60 ended up being too big for any of the areas we were trying to fit it in once we saw it in person inside our home. This is where things turn bad. I sent a very kind email to the gallery letting them know the situation and that I will need to send the painting back, as the size does not work. I offered to pay all shipping and handling costs on my end. I get a nasty text from Mathieu the artist asking "WTF" (not really the way to speak to a customer). I then get a nasty email from the gallery, who told Mathieu I was wanting to return the piece. At this point my wife and I were very surprised. Mathieu was all about peace, love and acceptance....until a piece didn't work out. As long as people were flattering him and the gallery about how wonderful and talented they are, (feeding their ego's) they were the nicest people around. But the exact second something didn't work out, we got to see their TRUE nature. I ended up still sending the large piece back even though the gallery at first said they would refuse shipment. I paid ALL costs to ship and even paid $600 for some made up admin/disposal/restocking fees. We spent over $6K at the gallery on works that we kept (Not to mention over $1,000 travel to the show from the US) and all combined we've spent about $20K on pieces from this artist. In fact 11 pieces we bought from this artist and when ONE piece didn't work out, everyone got nasty. From the very beginning I said to the gallery that this piece will sell fast once I send it back, but Joanne and Mathieu were horrible the entire time. And the funny part is within a few weeks of the piece being retuned, it sold. So all this drama, ruining 2 customer relationships who will never return to do business with them, all for nothing. Imagine you have a business and a buyer buys 3 items. 1 doesn't work out and that customer offers to pay ALL associated return costs plus any restocking fees, and you being horribly rude to them, all for the piece to sell a few weeks later. Pretty myopic on their end if you ask me. I honestly really don't even want to display any of his works in my home any longer. Each time I look at a piece on my wall, I think "What nasty people" instead of appreciating the beauty of them. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't have ever contacted him or the gallery to begin with. And I recommend you don't either. The only reason I am giving a 2 star and not a 1 is the employees there were fantastic to deal with, but not the gallery owner Joanne who controls everything and was nasty with me. Lastly, Mathieu's husband, when he noticed I had written a negative review, THREATENED me online. I took a screenshot of it and reported it. I'm also considering legal action.
