Gallery TPW

Exhibits at the CONTACT Photography Festival in Toronto

Head west to Bloor and Lansdowne and you’ll uncover a hidden art district with cool contemporary galleries housed in repurposed auto garages. The Toronto Photographers Workshop (or Gallery TPW) on St. Helens Avenue is a non-profit, artist-run centre first founded in 1977. During the CONTACT Photography Festival, the venue will be screening Episode of the Sea, a black-and-white film by Dutch duo Siebren de Haan and Lonnie van Brummelen. The 35mm film documents the daily life in the remote fishing community of Urk, a former island (now connected to the mainland) in the Netherlands.
