We are a non-profit, privately funded
gallery run entirely by volunteers. It is designed to display therapeutic are
from Toronto area individuals, groups, homes and institutions. We want to
encourage both interpersonal exchange skills and character building activities.
By proudly displaying creative endeavors of special individuals or groups in
therapy, we at SHOW GALLERY feel that a strengthening of self-worth and
self-confidence is achieved. We feel that doing something is the first
step in becoming someone.
Although SHOW GALLERY operates as a display gallery and does not provide
supplies or working material, we believe that promoting art created by the
individual or group is therapeutic and allows opportunities for communication
and co-operation among participants. SHOW GALLERY provides free display space
for a period of three weeks to a month to any local group, individual or
institution interested in showing off their session produced art. The artist(s)
are given free reign of the space, price their own paintings and hang their
artworks by themselves, or with the help of a volunteer. We have volunteers to
sit and to help with openings, but encourage, if possible, the artist(s) to
spend as much time as they can in the gallery and to use the space as their own.
