LOCATION3
Gallery Hop 2011 Toronto
Gala Dinner & Auction September 21
Tours & Talks September 24
This September, the Canadian Art Foundation—celebrating its 20th anniversary as Canada’s ultimate portal for the exposure of visual arts—invites art lovers to join us for our annual Gallery Hop. Under the theme of Location3, this two-part event celebrates the best and brightest on the Canadian art scene. On Wednesday, September 21, the Gallery Hop Gala Dinner and Auction will take place at the Carlu. Saturday, September 24, Gallery Hop Day, features a panel, gallery tours and a magazine launch, all of which are free.
Inspired by the business mantra “location, location, location,” the 2011 Gallery Hop theme is Location3. This recipe for success in real estate also applies, to a large extent, in the art world, where physical sites and scenes from Chelsea to Queen West continue to have huge influence on production—even in our increasingly mobile and networked context.
