Graven Feather

Graven Feather
A unique space for unique art, Graven Feather
Written by: Nicole Giroli

Established in 2011 and run by local artists Erin Candela and Pam Lobb, Graven Feather is an art space located in the heart of Queen West next to the Trinity Bellwoods Park. This place is for both artists and the art-loving public to display their art. Graven Feather includes workshops, retail, and gallery space. The Graven Feather is becoming Torontos networking hangout for artists in the community to share their work, and also learn from others.

 
Art
Graven Feather bases upon building a relationship with artists and the community. Graven Feather is not only a gallery space, but it also offers a venue to host events and community oriented events. Graven Feather’s studio is an open and accessible destination dedicated to fostering creative output and artistic exchange. They’ve displayed sketches of Dave Sheppard, the oil paintings of Kari Minchin, and of course the work of the gallery owners, and others. Graven Feather posts weekly, and monthly events, and artists coming to the gallery to display their art.

Workshops
Ask yourself when the last time was that you had a craft night. The Artist Residency Program is part of their initiative to widen the community and share artistic experiences. In addition to using Graven Feather as a studio to create your work, they invite you to participate in their studio/gallery/workshop space. Graven Feather has many workshops to offer, such as letterpress cards, linocut, framing and oil painting. You will gain the experience and learn something new.

Atmosphere
The Graven Feather is a unique space that can offer 300 square feet of bright, beautiful, and affordable exhibition space. It is also a bright and cheery environment. . This brightly lit and warm space is serves double-duty as a gallery and studio space. Given the small space, Graven Feather is spacious with it’s open concept, all-white minimal decor and bright lighting. This place is inviting and pleasant rather than your typical dark dungeon like art gallery.

Twist Gallery

Twist Your Event into Something New, with Twist Gallery!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since Twist opened back in February of 2010, Nadia, the young and dynamic owner and director of Twist Gallery has watched her space blossom into one of Queen West’s prime locations for art shows and events. She says her favourite part about her job is meeting new people, and the rush she gets in anticipation of what tomorrow will bring.

Nadia also says that coming up with a name for her gallery was surprisingly one of the harder things she has ever had to do. People gave her all kinds of suggestions, but she did not want to settle for just anything. Like all things in life, coming up with the name “Twist” took time. It came to her out of nowhere, and she knew it was right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The primary use of Twist Gallery’s space is for Art Exhibitions, but it is available for rent for special events outside of gallery hours.

She believes in the importance of meeting new people, and feels comfortable in any social setting. It is this same sense of ease and relaxedness that she trusts her visitors will appreciate upon entering her gallery. Instead of feeling intimidated and uninvited like some places, she wants her guests to feel welcomed and at home.

An ideal spot for fashion shows, corporate functions and photo shoots, Twist also offers a great alternative space for a wedding reception.
The Gallery can accommodate approximately 250 guests for a standing reception, and 160 seated.
Twist Gallery transcends the stereotypical idea of an art gallery and is a space where anybody can walk in and feel comfortable.
Whether an art enthusiast or someone who knows little of art, the space gives a sense of ease and relaxedness to guests.

 

Venue Capacity: 250, reception/160, sit down
Outdoor Facilities: No
