The Market Gallery

Art Galleries
Hours: The Market Gallery is a hidden gem nestled within the bustling St. Lawrence Market in downtown Toronto. This free-to-visit art gallery showcases a diverse range of artwork, from photography and oil paintings to watercolors and mixed media pieces. Currently, the gallery features an exhibit dedicated to the annual Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, displaying 60 thought-provoking artworks purchased by former mayors of Toronto. The gallery's collection also includes memorabilia, such as the original mayor's chair, providing visitors with a glimpse into the city's rich history. The gallery's welcoming and knowledgeable staff are happy to share the history of the building, which is a remnant of Toronto's first city hall, and offer insights into the current exhibitions. Visitors can also explore the food court on the lower level of the St. Lawrence Market, where they can find a collection of photographs showcasing the city and its history. While the gallery may not be widely advertised, it is a hidden treasure that offers a peaceful respite from the bustling market. Visitors are encouraged to take the time to appreciate the diverse and locally-sourced artwork on display, as well as the gallery's unique historical significance.
