If I was an artist with art here, I'd not be happy…read more I can't remember the last time I walked into a business (and don't forget, a gallery is a business) and the person working there literally didn't even bother to look up from their book. The woman working ignored me to a spectacular, purposeful degree. The work was fine, but the art IS for sale - but even if I'd liked it enough to buy, I'd have had to abstain on principle. Perhaps there is some silence code in the art world that I don't know about, some layer of coolness that I'm supposed to expect. Perhaps I'm meant to be grateful for the opportunity to browse around undisturbed, but at the VERY least... saying hello to people who enter on a Saturday afternoon should be expected. So rude.

If you're a fan of rock music and art, Analogue Gallery is the place you want to visit…read more The gallery exhibits photographs of the most iconic people in music: Dylan, the Beatles, Marley, Bowie, and Blondie, to name a few. The photography is gorgeous and beautifully framed. All of the works have been taken by live music photographers from around the world. If you're an aspiring live music photographer, come here and study the works. You will be inspired. I believe some of the prints, if not all, are for sale unless otherwise noted. The gallery is also used as a venue space for private and public events. Check their blog to see what's coming up.

Very friendly knowledgeable staff/people when it comes to this, specifically getting the right matt and frame to really make your art work or document stand out. They always seem to pick the right frame be it metal or wood with the correct color to compliment your art. The sealing of the picture/art being framed is museum sealed and will not and has not sagged in the frame, even after 25 yrs ! They also have in house prints so you can pick what you want printed or pieces already framed and ready to be hung on the walls in your home.

Although the Department has a smaller main space gallery, it makes for a very interesting…read moreexhibition space. The main floor has a lovely atrium with floor to ceiling windows which allows street goers to get a sneak peak of the gallery and tempt them to enter and explore. The white walls make the space seem large and bright and allow whatever may be hanging on them to grab your full attention. Track lighting provides the perfect illuminating atmosphere to showcase artwork. There is a fully equipped kitchen at the back of the main space for entertainment purposes and special events. I believe the rental price for events at the gallery is reasonable. I had the privy of attending an exhibition at the Department last winter ( http://www.toolstoronto.com/ interior design week) and I was very impressed with the staff and the space. The Department helps to facilitate a culture of innovative minds and to inspire the development of artistic conversation and work.

Wearing shorts and sneakers, I obviously didn't fit the profile of their clientele. The art in there is amazing. If I were an artist with my work at the Bau-Xi Gallery I would have a word with the gallery manager. There was some smaller pieces that I could afford however after the way I was treated I didn't even bother asking for help.

!!!!! BEWARE !!!!…read more DON'T BUY ANYTHING HERE !!! If I could rate this shop - a MINUS 10 - I would. About four weeks ago I brought a very precious painting my mother made to the shop to be framed, I kick myself everyday since that I did not look on yelp beforehand to see what the review was. Me of all people are Yelper who didn't look at Yelp shame on me..... When I walked in the shop and brought in the painting I knew in my head I wanted a copper frame. I've maybe framed 3 pieces of art in my life so I don't have a lot of experience in this area and I really did rely on the owner and her professional opinion to assist me. After about 15 minutes and no copper frame sample in site, I kept repeating myself to her that I wanted copper - finally she picked the copper piece and she added that we should put another frame inside of it which I knew was going to look kind of weird but I thought I should go with her professional opinion. The worst part about choosing the frame with her was her friend was there or partner and he was butting in the conversation and it really bothered me that he kept butting in and he had a coffee in his hand near the painting was very unprofessional. We spent at least 10 minutes choosing the frame. It was a very confusing process over a VERY messy work counter. After the bill was written up I mentioned the sign that said the spaces for lease it should've been my first indication, and she said they been there for many years and that they're moving - I had to think positive after all she already had my $200 for a picture that I might add is only 18" x 26" ridiculous amount of money I know! I was told to come back in two weeks which I did"....... I walked in the store and there was a guy behind the counter (now the counter was full of food and very messy) there was another guy on the other side of the counter I stood back and waited - The shopkeeper said it's okay it's my friend, can I help you with? What is this shop bring your friend to work every day?? I showed my receipt, "what the picture was of" he said - I said "a painting of Hawaii" - the friend then jumped in and asked too many questions; have you been to Hawaii? where was I there? who did the picture?, it got to the point that I actually turned to them and said look do you mind I'm trying to pick up my picture - he was very very rude. The shopkeeper (while holding his coffee) made he way through an obstacle course to find the picture where artwork was leaning up against every single flat surface in the shop. He brought the framed art over to the counter I looked at it saw the copper frame and then saw the inside frame was beige and that it was all dirty - I pointed that out to him and he didn't seem to care so you need to tell the owner as that's not what I ordered what I ordered, I said . I ordered white. Looking at the picture I hated it , I hated the copper I hated the white it looks cheap - the back paper was craft paper glued on and cut uneven, the hardware was terrible on the back the whole thing was a disaster! A week later I got a call from the owner who said on my voicemail "your paintings ready come pick it up" (Great customer service so far isn't it?) Yesterday I walked in the filthy dirty unorganized crummy shop to pick up my very precious painting and the owner again had to make her way through an obstacle course of paintings to get it brought it to the counter and they had not changed the beige interior frame! But by this point I was rather upset and she argued with me for a solid five minutes about it I finally said you know what I'm going to go somewhere else to get it framed properly - this is really a bad job - you did a terrible job framing this, wrap it up so I can leave your shop. As I was leaving, a customer was entering, I turned the customer and said "you know what, don't buy anything in here, please don't buy anything in here" I'm sure I look like lunatic, but it had to be said. Don't buy anything in this store is terrible! the owner, the staff and their friends they bring to work are so unprofessional they should be ashamed to call this shop a gallery ! I wish I had not gone in to another the store with a great Yelp review up the street ! In fact I will to have this great picture reframed.

They claimed they do stretching all of the time and even recommended the size it should be. When I received the art, you could see the wood through the fabric and it did not look good. When I called to explain my problem they told me that they knew about the issue but was hoping that the wall would hide the wood? Meaning, they knew they didn't do a good job and hoped I wouldn't notice. They said they would figure out how to fix it and call me back. They didn't call so I called again. Same thing. Eventually I gave up and my decorator told me she could fix it easily and did it properly. In summary, do not come here to get fabric stretched!
