Gallery Arcturus

Gallery Arcturus is a contemporary art museum in downtown Toronto with several exhibition spaces designed for different artistic approaches. The building contains the Ascending Gallery, Photographic Gallery, Dark Room, Drawing Room, and Collage Gallery, each dedicated to specific forms of creative work.

Gallery Arcturus was founded in 1994 by the Foundation for the Study of Objective Art as a non-profit center. Since its opening, the venue has developed into a platform for contemporary artistic practice in Toronto.

This space functions as a meeting point for people interested in exploring contemporary art through hands-on engagement. Visitors can participate in workshops and discover how artists work with different materials and ideas that connect to everyday life.

The museum offers free admission to all visitors and maintains a specialized art library with resources on art history and theory. This makes it accessible for anyone who wants to explore or learn more about contemporary artistic practice.

Each exhibition at Gallery Arcturus centers on specific questions about human experience and creates interactive experiences through how artworks are placed and related to each other. Visitors are invited to actively think about the meaning of these arrangements rather than simply viewing art passively.
