On the Grid : Mercer Union

"Founded in the late 70s, the Mercer Union gallery moved to Bloordale in 2008. The gallery space is fairly small, but feels roomy with high plaster ceilings painted white to match the walls. This artist-run, non-profit gallery features contemporary artists from local to international." - Zachary Radford

It's true that there is only one public exhibit room here, but that's also what makes it so valuable. Small art galleries like these are an essential part of the city's arts and creative scene. More importantly, the exhibit I viewed, Lydia Ourahmane’s film Tassili, was actually a great experience (aside from the uncomfortable beanbags in the room). The film took me on a magical, otherworldly journey through the remote parts of Algeria, which, accompanied by soothing music, made for an engrossing viewing experience. It felt like a combination of watching Dune and BBC Earth. I watched the film for around 20 minutes and really enjoyed it. I also wanted to praise the gallery's washroom design. It is very nice that they have an all-gendered washroom, almost right next to the entrance, without needing to walk up or down the stairs. It was very clean, roomy and even had a shower. Kudos to the designer, and to the staff for maintaining the washroom.

This gallery and staff are outstanding in every way possible. They are not just artists, they are people with a conscience.

It’s one room featuring one exhibit. So don’t expect to come here and have some rich museum experience.
