Take Me Away

Take Me Away is an exploration of abstract realism where reality blurs into imagination through bold colour and expressive form. Hosted at the Leslie Grove Gallery, this exhibition invites viewers to journey beyond the everyday, where recognizable images shift into dreamlike gestures and vibrant palettes evoke emotion and escape.

What to Expect Moving between the tangible and the abstract, the works ask us to surrender to colour, texture, and feeling—an invitation to be carried elsewhere. Whether you are a seasoned art collector or just looking for a contemplative afternoon, this exhibition offers a refreshing perspective on the power of visual storytelling.

Visit the Gallery The exhibition runs from May 13 to 24, with gallery hours Wednesday through Sunday, 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. If you want to meet the artists and fellow art enthusiasts, the opening reception takes place on Thursday, May 14, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Located in the heart of Leslieville at 1158 Queen Street East, the gallery is perfectly positioned for a pre- or post-exhibition stroll. After taking in the art, consider grabbing a coffee or a bite at one of the many independent cafes and restaurants that make this neighbourhood a vibrant hub for local culture.
