These carefully selected affordable artworks make perfect gifts for the lucky people on your list—or excellent additions to your personal collection. Find a special gift for your friends, loved ones & yourself.

During the exhibition all work is available for viewing and sale at our downtown Toronto location at 788 King Street West and through our website www.artmetropole.com.

Special Event
The opening Saturday of the show will feature the comedic presence of local geriatric dandy, and ham radio personality, Peanut Brittle with his trusty sidekick, Tommy Talker. Peanut’s contribution to the ham radio world may be widely known among listeners to W-E-Z-Y, his apartment-based radio station, but this is your chance to brush shoulders with the man himself.

Commerce by Artists
Art Metropole’s latest anthology edited by Luis Jacob, will be on display and available for sale. For more information or to order click here.
