Art Exhibit Space

Toronto Public Library is pleased to provide space for art exhibits which reflect the diverse cultural interests of the city and its neighbourhoods. Art Exhibits spaces are included at locations across the city.

Artists are invited to submit their work for possible exhibition during the next Art Exhibits season.

The Art Selection Committee considers works in all media, including photography, but not sculptures. Selected artists are given a one-month showing. Preference will be given to exhibitors who live or work in the City of Toronto.

If you have any questions, please contact the Art Exhibits Office at
