YYZizzles!

Melt away at YYZ Artist’s Outlet’s mock sauna galleries

If you have ever attended an opening or event at YYZ Artists’ Outlet, you know it can be a real scorcher in here. Our space is ALWAYS hot, making it uncomfortable for staff, artists and visitors alike. Additionally, these conditions are detrimental to the artwork on display, to our collection of published books, and to the 38 years of archival material that we are trying to preserve.

The time has come for us to address this critical issue with an upgrade of our system to meet industry standards for the cultural sector. Given the precariousness of cultural spaces, particularly in 401 Richmond, we are investing in the quality and future of YYZ. As we embark on our first significant fundraiser in over 5 years, we need your help!
