With so much choice, with well over 1500 Canadian and international artists and photographers exhibiting at more than 175 venues throughout the Greater Toronto Area, it isn’t easy picking exhibits to see.
We all look forward to seeing much more than the ones listed but these caught our interest and everyone is sure to have their own list as well.
