Rainbow Market Square Gallery Exhibit Comes to an End

by Justin on February 28th, 2008

St. Lawrence Market in Toronto

The Rainbow Market Square Gallery, which started a 4-in-1 art show exhibit at the start of this month, will be having its last day on exhibition tomorrow.  The gallery is full of a number of beautiful paintings that are located within the heart of historic St. Lawrence Market downtown.  If you are a painting fan, then it would be a good idea to pay St. Lawrence Market a visit tomorrow and take in all of the different paintings that are available at the gallery including the 4-in-1 exhibit before they go off display.

Venue Information

The Rainbow Market Square Gallery is located in the heart of the St. Lawrence Market, perhaps the most historic market in Canada and certainly the most historic market in Ontario.  St. Lawrence Market is home to over 60 different vendors specializing in many different foods and products that are sure to pique your interest.  The neighbourhood itself has managed to maintain some of the historicity about it that made it such an attractive place decades ago and since it is in close proximity to downtown Toronto, you can easily walk to many of the other attractions that the City of Toronto has to offer.

Event Information

There are four painters that will be on display until 10 PM tomorrow:

Julie Nierenberg: a realistic painter that has made a name for herself in the local community through her excellent talent in painting sunrises and sunsets with a distinctly impressionistic style.  If you enjoy impressionistic paintings or if you simply enjoy getting a look at how artists view the rising or setting sun, then it is definitely worth the free admission to the event just to see her stuff.

Anita Brooks: A very expressive painter that uses a concrete-like background with lots of lustre in order to create street graffiti for people to take a look at.  Toronto, like many of the other large cities in North America, is home to some excellent graffiti painters and Anita Brooks is definitely one of those excellent painters.  She’d be worth taking a look at with typical gallery admission prices, but getting to see her top work for free is most definitely a rare treat.

Dan Monaghan: Monaghan is a soapstone artist and very much one of Canada’s best.  His previous sculpting masterpieces include bears, eagles, turtles and inukshuks and much of his handiwork has been on display as part of this exhbit for the last month.

Donald Agopsowitz: A photographer that has been all around the world.  His pictures include places in Paris, Rome, Nova Scotia and right here in Hogtown as well.  Some of these photographs are absolutely breathtaking and they are certainly worth taking a look at.

Paintings, graffiti, sculpture and photographs.  What better way to spend an afternoon if you happen to be an art lover?
