Gallery 1313 ( Online )
As the pandemic continues artists struggle to make a modest living and with most galleries closed during lock down and events postponed or cancelled few opportunities to exhibit or sell work exist Lock Down in Toronto looks like it will continue til March 9th or longer. With the variant virus around and threatening to infect more people it is the probably the best thing for everyone.
This particular exhibit is for members of Gallery 1313. Over 60 members across the GTA and a variety of art practices. Most members are represented online at www.g1313.org artists page. Gallery 1313 is an artist run centre occupying 1313 Queen St. West since 1997. Before that members were part of a art collective: the Parkdale Village arts Collective started in 1994.
We are all dealing with covid fatigue tired from constant zooming, social distancing and covid precautions. The roll out of vaccines painted a picture of hope but the emergence of the variant virus and its even more menacing threat we count the days that roll into each other.
Online art will hopefully give the public something to view and talk about perhaps fill some time of other wise idle moments with humor and hope.
The exhibit is curated online by director Phil Anderson.
We look forward to opening our doors and welcoming the public back in a safe and healthy environment. Stay Safe. take Care.
