Mercer Union, a centre for contemporary art

It's true that there is only one public exhibit room here, but that's also what makes it so valuable. Small art galleries like these are an essential part of the city's arts and creative scene. More importantly, the exhibit I viewed, Lydia Ourahmane’s film Tassili, was actually a great experience (aside from the uncomfortable beanbags in the room). The film took me on a magical, otherworldly journey through the remote parts of Algeria, which, accompanied by soothing music, made for an engrossing viewing experience. It felt like a combination of watching Dune and BBC Earth. I watched the film for around 20 minutes and really enjoyed it. I also wanted to praise the gallery's washroom design. It is very nice that they have an all-gendered washroom, almost right next to the entrance, without needing to walk up or down the stairs. It was very clean, roomy and even had a shower. Kudos to the designer, and to the staff for maintaining the washroom.

45 degrees anniversary party was a blast!

This gallery and staff are outstanding in every way possible. They are not just artists, they are people with a conscience.

A very professional artist run centre. A good space, good programming. I've seen many memorable exhibitions there.

It’s one room featuring one exhibit. So don’t expect to come here and have some rich museum experience.

Well curated gallery with great Canadian artists. Good spot to people watch fashionable, rich & young.

Outstanding art when I visited. Fresh look was awesome.

It's a beautiful building nestled amidst the grimes of Bloorcourt
