A Space Gallery

A Space Gallery is a Toronto not-for-profit centre committed to critical engagement through interdisciplinary programs including exhibitions, performances, screenings, collaborations and discussions. Its artistic direction explores how art can contribute to social justice and to greater awareness of cultural similarities, differences and specificities. The gallery welcomes local and international proposals from individual artists as well as curatorial propositions, thematic interests and research trajectories. It brings together artists, curators, writers, academics, students and activists whose work transgresses disciplinary boundaries. A Space began as an alternative commercial gallery in 1968 and incorporated as a not-for-profit in January 1971. It has played a significant role in the evolution of contemporary art in Canada, leading the development of policies on artist fees, anti-censorship, anti-racism and access. It is supported by its membership, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, the Government of Ontario and the Toronto Arts Council.
