While going through Guild Park (and kind of mourning and annoyed with how we have double standards for architects and how we’re treating facades), I ended up checking out the Clark Centre for the Arts. It was a pleasant surprise. Kind of walked around a bit on the exterior (and questioned some architectural design considerations like exterior drywall on the soffit… but that’s just who I am, lol. Sorry, not sorry).
Stepping into the building, the people who worked there were super nice and welcoming. I liked how they have a gallery space for artists in the open corridor area. It works in the space. And it’s a 3 storey art gallery.
They’ve utilized rooms on the south side and core for courses.
I’m glad the city and neighbourhood nearby has such a space like this for people to utilize.
While checking out the gallery – they had pieces from Yue Gao. Abstract pieces that are super appealing to the brain. It’s interesting that the space also kind of works with the pieces (i.e., windows) and the artist played around with the space based on the pieces put in place… I really liked that. They also created an interactive station where you can get a postcard and add stamps.
I recommend others to check out the space and art on display.
(I’m not a great reviewer lol. I liked it. Period.)
