Photo Exhibition


I visited the opening exhibition of the exciting  new Ryerson Image Centre in downtown Toronto, a renovated and remodelled former warehouse building at Gould and Bond Streets. The space is shared with the School of Image Arts.
 .  The centre combines:

  • three public gallery spaces
  • New Media Colonnade at the entrance
  • a fully staffed professional research centre with museum-quality environmental controls
  • a climate controlled vault built to contain a million photographic images, including The Black Star Collection
  • Ryerson University Fine Art Photography Collection
  • Great Hall reception, conference and screening area


It was  created in part to display some of the 292,000 photos which it had received as an anonymous bequest from Black Star , a photographic agency.  The current exhibition features students and alumni of the school. Future exhibits begin after the holiday season.

If you get tired of viewing photographic art , you can skate on the very attractive small rink just at the side of the building.
