Thursday, July 28th from 6 to 9 PM
After a two-year hiatus, we are thrilled to be hosting the return of the West Queen West Art Gallery Crawl this July!
With some new additions to our roaster, 8 art galleries in Toronto’s West Queen West neighbourhood stayed open late for you to come and explore. The West Queen West Art Crawl was a fun summer evening filled with art.
