In our never ending quest to keep you up to date on the ever expanding Gerrard Street gentrification we came across a sign in a window at the NE corner of Gerrard and Woodfield that looks like an art gallery opening. Does anyone know anything about this? The sign says Gas : Art Space. A few more cool shops on gerrard and even the Queen Street hipsters will allow us Northerners to be part of Leslieville?
Hello,
My name is Joanne FIlletti and I am the director of Gerrard Art Space, or GAS. The official opening is Saturday April 14th, 2-7pm, with a show of paintings by local artist Max MacDonald. . We are in th eprocess of creating our blog, website and a facebook page.
GAS is is a membership based gallery. Art courses will potentially run in the evening.
