You don't have to go far to see great art! Telephone Booth Gallery at 3148 Dundas Street West!
Thank you, Sharlene.
You are right, the 2010 free all-night contemporary art show has finished, but at local galleries, great art is here to stay. Just around the corner.
Thank you for the video tour of the Julia Vandepolder – Recent Paintings exhibition, and for sharing your recommendation of Luna's branch on the BOOTH blog: panoramas and nuit blanche.
All the best and thanks again for the invitation!
