Exploring the Art Scene on Dundas Street West

…yesterday, February 21, 2026

Yesterday was the perfect day to do some gallery hopping. It was the last day for the Open Type Typography Exhibition on Dundas St. W. It was already extended for an extra week.

When I first met my husband Kevin he was studying to become a graphic designer and for close to a decade he worked in the industry designing catalogues, menus, signage and advertising.

We had a wonderful conversation with the gallery owners. They were very interested in our upcoming show later this year and they gave us some information on their life drawing classes.

Directly across from this gallery was the Stephen Bulger Photography Gallery.

It was a great day. We were both inspired to get busy with our own art projects.

…at the Rex

Last week friends, Phil and Laurie invited us to join them to hear their favourite alternative jazz band, the Neon Eagle. What a treat, they were fantastic!

The following video was not from today’s performance but the venue is the same and it will give you some idea of the music we experienced. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=bVu4Qxn1_ls&si=sdIgkzH7TH8OJvE_

…at WAAC

Every year Women’s Art hosts The Small Gems Show. Members are called upon to submit up to three small pieces that are no more than $400.00 each. This year 47 members participated.

On Saturday I attended the opening reception and took photos of the show.

If you’re in Toronto come down and check out this show. It runs till Jan. 10, 2026 and if you want an original Christmas gift you can take it with you on the day you make the purchase.

…this morning on my walk I came across numerous waterfowl

If you have any trios to share I’d love to see them. Just copy my link and paste it into your post. You don’t have to post on Thursday and the subject material is up to you. The goal is to have fun.

Lens Artists Challenge – On the Move

…this week Johnbo asks if you like to travel https://photobyjohnbo.com/2025/11/15/lens-artists-challenge-374-on-the-move/

My answer is simply, ‘yes’. I do enjoy travelling. I’m not a hugh fan of flying but since two of my three children and my two grandchildren live 1000s of kilometres away, flying is the fastest and most convenient mode of transportation. Closer to home I enjoy travelling by train and car and even in London I prefer the overground rail system.
