The Power Plant, Contemporary art gallery at Harbourfront Centre, Toronto, Canada
The Power Plant presents rotating exhibitions of contemporary visual art through solo presentations and thematic group shows in a waterfront building.
The gallery opened in 1987 after renovating a 1926 powerhouse building, originally starting as the Art Gallery at Harbourfront in 1976.
The institution produces over 140 art publications, organizes artist conversations, and maintains an extensive archive documenting contemporary art exhibitions and programs.
Each exhibition space welcomes 130,000 visitors annually with free admission to all exhibitions through the ALL YEAR, ALL FREE initiative established in 2012.
The Power Plant Commissioning Program, launched in 2006, funds the creation of new site-specific installations by Canadian and international contemporary artists.
