Exhibit: Gladstone Hotel's Grow Op!

Gladstone Hotel's Grow Op 2015 Exhibition Review

With the weather getting warmer (the last few days are the exception here in Ontario), Torontonians are getting outside more and enjoying the public open spaces (Trinity Bellwoods Park was packed last weekend)! And to celebrate the start to the outdoor season, Gladstone Hotel hosts its third annual Grow Op art and landscape exhibition.

Grow Op is a mix of artists creatively showcasing the environment we live in. Whether it's beautiful pictures of septic tank mounds or a pitch black room filled with pine branches (and sap), Grow Op 2015 is an eclectic mix of the fantastic and the unique, like the beautiful world we live in.

I had the chance to view this amazing exhibition, before the public and to meet and talk with many of the artists. There is something for everyone of every age at this amazing exhibit. Grow Op 2015 runs only for four days and ends on Sunday April 26, 2015. Admission is $10 and the opening times vary each day. Please visit Gladstone Hotel for more information.
