I’ve been going to gallery openings, artist talks, curatorial tours, and other events consistently for about a year now and I thought it would be helpful to have a weekly list of Toronto openings and events for those interested. I typically stay up-to-date through individual email newsletters, Instagram pages, by word of mouth, or by working/volunteering at art fairs and festivals. Will occasionally include screenings, book launches, book fairs, and more. Links to everything below!
