Don't miss the next Feast for the Senses. Last week's was really completely amazing and a wonderfully unique experience that integrated with the atmosphere and theme of Kent Workman's art. We toured the exhibit and heard Shawn Adler (Pow Wow Cafe in Kensington Market) talk about how he designed the food and drinks based on how the artwork inspired him. A drool-worthy experience.

KW AG is always such a fun, inspiring, inviting, spacious place to enter & feel: free to relax, explore, see, think; be challenged to see & think more - & from another angle or lighting or viewpoint. It is home for my muse's attitude to waft about freely & peruse; the welcoming, bright staff know exactly how to coax her out of her shy spot, under my grown up's mantle. Ahhhh, the wonder spilling KW Art Gallery - 'Our Gallery!' Enjoy & take your place as a part of it!
