I recently attended the gala reception for the Next2 juried contemporary art exhibition, and what a wonderful experience it was! Held in the historic Arts and Letters Club Toronto, it was an exceptional evening of paintings and drawings by Ontario artists. With less than 10% of all applicants receiving acceptance into the show, I was very grateful to be included. It was fantastic to see all of the varied and interesting work hanging on the gorgeous walls of this club that was once the meeting place of Canada's Group of Seven.

The exhibition runs until October 27th—open weekends only from 1:00–3:00 p.m. Don't miss it!
