About Public Gallery Program

The City of Toronto has made enhancements to the Public Gallery Program in five City-operated public galleries, including Assembly Hall Gallery. These changes are part of a new pilot initiative, aligned with CARFAC (Canadian Artists’ Representation / Le Front des Artistes Canadiens) guidelines. The enhancements are designed to increase equitable access to the City’s cultural spaces and elevate support for artists, while advancing some of the key objectives of the City’s Culture Connects: An Action Plan for Culture in Toronto.

Artist Responsibilities

  • The successful artist or group is responsible for any and all costs that are in excess of the granted CARFAC fee; all other costs associated with the exhibition and reception remain the artist’s responsibility
  • The successful artist or group is responsible for adhering to the Gallery's Terms of Entry
  • Recipient(s) must actively participate in the promotion of the exhibition, the site and the opening reception through their own networks and effort

Space: The Assembly Hall Gallery is a public gallery space, owned and operated by the City of Toronto, available to both individual artists and arts groups. Gallery exhibitions are viewed both by dedicated visual arts enthusiasts and by people who have come to the Assembly Hall to attend other events, providing a great opportunity to present the works on display to a larger community. Hanging space allows for 40 – 60 works, depending on the size and media. There are also display cases that can be used to present 3D artwork and additional 2D works if needed.

Schedule: In an average year, we host eight exhibitions, each running 4-5 weeks in length. Installations tend to be on Mondays or Tuesday during daytime hours. Receptions are normally Thursday evenings from 6–8 p.m. or 7–9 p.m.

De-installations tend to be scheduled for Fridays during daytime hours. Gallery hours are weekdays from 10 a.m.–5p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m.–1 p.m. The building is closed on Sundays and holidays unless otherwise noted.
