An Arts and Crafts Show Worth Visiting
Toronto, being a city of over 2 million people, is a city where a lot of arts and crafts go on. Not only are students regularly practising their trades through art shows and other exhibitions, but there are also apprentice craftsmen who are doing the same thing but on a much larger scale. With all of the arts and crafts that go on in this city, it has to be a good crafts show indeed that is able to break through the mold of the typical arts and crafts show and be thought of as an event that is worth visiting for people traveling to the City of Toronto.
Well, this show, sponsored by the Montgomery Seniors’ Social Club, is definitely one of the shows that is worth visiting. It starts at 10 AM on November 24th and ends just four hours later, so it is a great event for you to visit if you happen to have a few hours to kill during the late morning and early afternoon. The event itself is free, which is something that is always welcome news and the crafts themselves are absolutely spectacular and are done by people that have a lifetime of experience in the creation of beautiful arts and crafts. You are under no obligation to purchase anything, so if you want to drop by for a half hour and browse while you’re waiting for something else to get started, by all means go ahead! More information can be obtained by phoning 416-485-1266.
As for the venue itself, it is Montgomery Place. Located at 130 Eglinton Avenue East, Montgomery Place is just a short walk from the Eglinton Subway Station, so you can quickly get in and out if you want to combine a visit to this Arts and Crafts show with another event taking place later on in the day. I’ve never actually been to Montgomery Place so I can not comment on the venue itself, but I have been to different places within the Yonge and Eglinton area and it is definitely an area with everything. There’s lots of restaurants and convenience stores if you want to make a few purchases of that kind and in addition to the nearby subway station there are also a lot of bus routes if you want to travel to an area not served directly by the subway.
All in all, this is not an event that you can dedicate a whole day to, but it is definitely something worth checking out if you’ve got the time during the 10 AM to 2 PM stretch on November 24th.
