Our honest take

You can discover several small exhibitions without committing to a huge museum or one expensive ticket.

Tenant hours differ, some studios are private workspaces and the building can feel quiet between exhibitions.

Plan the visit

Transit: Take the 510 Spadina streetcar to Richmond Street West. There is no visitor parking.

Access: Official building information has listed a barrier-free northeast entrance, an elevator and accessible washrooms on floors one and four. Tenant spaces vary, so confirm an essential route.

Hours and timing: Check the current events page and each gallery before leaving. There is no single reliable building-wide gallery schedule.
