The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery

The art gallery was amazing! It had such a variety of art, from classic paintings to modern, funky sculptures. It felt like a journey through time and emotions. Some pieces were thought-provoking, others were just plain beautiful. It was a place that made you think, feel, and appreciate the incredible talents of artists. The whole experience left me feeling so inspired and connected to the world of creativity.

The Artist Abdelkader Benchamma, he uses simple material yet creates complex drawings. His drawings take their inspiration from visual scenarios that stem from reflections on space and its physical reality, its limits and its zones of contact with mental space. They operate with diversions, modulating objects to testify of possible malfunctions in our relationship with the other and with things. At the end of my experience I fell in love with his work. I have multiple trips back to view this artist's masterpieces.

Free contemporary art museum. Cool space, beautiful exhibits, helpful staff. Neat hands-on space upstairs.

Free, small art gallery that always has at least one (but usually more) exhibitions that are worth your time...and artist talks too. In a time when the price of everything is increasing, public free spaces like these that connect us through art are a true treasure.

Entrance is free. Some fascinating exhibits. At Harbourfront so plenty of other options for further entertainment, including a walk on the boardwalk.
