While searching out the different venues, we came across one huge industrial building, 401 Richmond Street West, repurposed for art galleries and creative start-ups. We found the Gladstone Hotel, which houses art display spaces, studios and thirty-some hotel rooms, each decorated by a different artist. We stumbled upon the very interesting Distillery District, featuring Victorian-era red brick buildings which have been renovated to house cafés, galleries and studios. We also found ourselves in a super fabric warehouse on Spadina, King Street Fabrics. And we finished off our trip with a visit to the excellent Freda Kalo / Diego Rivera show at the AGO.

Oh my goodness. This must have been mind blowing with the huge number and excellent variety. Just trawling through the images I kept finding more and more work that I was in awe of. There was almost too much to get your head around. It probably would have only been possible to really appreciate if you have been able to stay for a couple of weeks and take it in in small doses.
