Discover Local Art at Leslie Grove

If you find yourself exploring the vibrant east end this August, make your way to the Leslie Grove Gallery for *DARE*, a compelling group exhibition running from August 5 to August 16. Located in the heart of Leslieville at 1158 Queen Street East, the gallery serves as a community hub for local visual arts.

### What to Expect *DARE* brings together nine distinct artists working across a variety of media to explore diverse subject matter. For some participating creators, daring is found in the provocative ideas they tackle; for others, it means experimenting with unfamiliar materials, techniques, or unconventional ways of working. The exhibition celebrates pure curiosity, artistic risk-taking, and the unexpected discoveries that emerge when stepping outside the comfort zone.

### Plan Your Visit - **Dates:** August 5 – August 16, 2026 - **Opening Reception:** Thursday, August 6, from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM - **Gallery Hours:** Wednesday to Sunday, 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM - **Admission:** Free

Make an afternoon of it by grabbing a coffee at one of the neighborhood's many independent cafes along Queen Street East before popping into the gallery to support Toronto’s thriving independent art scene.
