Collective City Arts – Research and Development Coordinator

About Collective City Arts

Collective City traces the history of artist generated galleries and collectives that operated as alternative exhibition venues in Toronto from the late 1980’s to the present day. This project shows, over the course of several short videos and transcripts, how a movement that started as a group of renegade artist collectives exhibiting their work in temporary spaces eventually evolved into the sustainable artist collective galleries we are familiar with today.
