"Holy Disappearing Distillery Galleries!"

I noticed these absences too. The folks at Clark Faria told me (in passing) that Sandra Ainsley had asked the property owners at the Distillery for a smaller space with lower rent but that they were reluctant to do so, which forced the gallery out. I heard that she still has a warehouse/exhibition space somewhere in Scarborough...

The Artcore/Fabrice Marcolini is more of a mystery. Apparently they "disappeared in the night". Their programming was great, so here's hoping they reopen somewhere more affordable.

Hi Gabby - Thanks for the info! I'm not surprised about the Distillery not budging. They do have seem to have tenant demand for more lifestyley businesses -- the super$$$ home stores like Hastens and Artemide -- so are likely betting on demand there staying strong.

Yep, Sandra Ainsley says on her website that they are willing to show to clients at their warehouse. I wonder if that is where this promised summer show will be.

Same for Artcore... hope they do reopen, though space is expensive in the city, with rents, I bet, not dropping in relation to art market sales.
