Ydessa Hendeles isn't closing! They're mounting a new show right now that is due to open in the fall (I breathed a big sigh of relief when I heard this)

Hooray! Thanks Gabby... will correct. The last many times I went by they were very closed and their website is also down.

Yeah, I recently had an email from her through work and she confirmed that it will be reopening. Just don't know when...

Another gallery switching to online sales and consulting is Prime Gallery (on McCaul), closing it's doors after 30 years (celebrating their 30th year this year). This was one of only a tiny handful of specialty galleries dealing specifically with ceramics, textiles, and metal, and has many GG and Bronfman award winning artists, as well as the hottest emerging talent in the mediums. Sad to see it go.

Wow, Jennifer, thanks for posting that info... that's sad to hear.

I do like the ceramics and craft stuff Prime has carried, and they also had some great photographs in there of CanLit icons in their youth -- Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje and the like.

It seems the market is changing, eh?

I wonder about Prime being around Queen West as well... Pages Books had to close due to steep rents on Queen around there.

Oh wow, I had no idea so many galleries were closing in the city. That's a shame. Anyhow, thanks a lot for the informative article. I was just looking for places where I could enjoy art and this helped me a lot. Take care, Julie.
