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!

The goal of Cube Works Studio is "meant to inspire, unite and invoke a sense of nostalgia by using common, tangible objects and methods to create impressive and entertaining works of art that can be appreciated and enjoyed by all." I find those Rubik's Cube work of art that displayed in the main floor of the studio really neat! The topics includes Hollywood celebrities, Renaissances Master pieces and Andy Warhol's themed artworks..hey even simple people like me understand what I am looking at! I am really in awe when I saw the reproduction of "Hands of God"(used over 12000 Rubik's Cube) which is the World Record Holder for Guinness... They also have a great website that display all their work of "art"! Now visiting Cube Works Studio makes me have the urge to dig out my Rubiks' cube and try solving it again! :P

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.

There's ample room for someone wanting to do a solo show and big enough for a group show. I don't know the specifics about how much it would cost to organize a show there but since they promote independent artists, most of them being students, it might be worth looking into. Looking through their blog and reading about past exhibits, they seem to organize some thought-provoking and original shows. The show I visited last night had an urban exploration theme which included more than photography by the artists but also actual objects from the places they visited. It was really inspiring stuff to see.

From the Bob Gruen show I ended up picking up a lovely signed coffee table book and photo with Bob Gruen (the stories that were told at that show were amazing-imagine the life of a rock photographer whom got to party with the stars that were the subject of his art) and a lovely framed Dr. Suess piece. I finally got to visit their gallery in Toronto with a friend and was very impressed with their gallery. The art was neatly displayed and lit up to demonstrate how good they would look in your home. Brian had a story about every piece and the artist. This is a lovely little gallery and would completely recommend that you visit. Also check out the coffee books that they sell because they have some neat stuff and pretty soon you'll end up telling your guest about the pics and contents inside this books if you are displaying those coffee books in your home (and of course your art pieces.)
