About Twist Galllery

Twist Gallery is Toronto’s newest art gallery located in the heart of Queen West. Since it  opened back in February, the space has grown into one of the city’s most sought after  locations for art exhibits, events, and shows. The 5,000 square foot New York-style loft  features skylights, French Arch windows overlooking the city streets, and long wooden beams accentuating the high ceilings. The gallery ensures its artists can present their work in a relaxed and social environment, while allowing its visitors to walk around freely and learn about the art.
