CONTACT Toronto Photography Festival
Various Venues Across Toronto
May 20 - May 31, 2006
"Art galleries weren't the locales for CONTACT. This was a terrific opportunity to show a variety of stores, museums and areas of the city to those attending the Festival.
Notably, one area of Toronto, The Junction through its BIA coordinated between various businesses such as The Hair Lounge, Post and Beam Reclamation, Latitude 44 Gallery and the BIA itself. "
Smash
Smash is the name of the new art space opening next month in the Junction area that will focus on architectural antiques, architectural furniture and found art imported from around the world.
