Power Plant Gallery – November 2024

The Power Plant Gallery in Harbourfront has been a favourite place in the city for a long time–it opened when I was in high school, and offered a more contemporary take on art than the juggernaut of the Art Gallery of Ontario (which I also love, and have had an on-again-off-again membership at.) Admission to the Power Plant has always been free, which is also a nice touch. I’m not suggesting that galleries should never charge admission, but art should not be for the elite either. It’s a fine balance.

I wandered on foot in that direction this weekend to check out the current exhibits–there are three. I was particularly fond of Charles Campbell’s How Many Colours Has the Sea which creates a tranquil, contemplative environment through visuals and an ambient soundscape. It’s well worth checking out, if you haven’t been there in a while.
