The Stephen Bulger Gallery is pleased to host Pop-Up 2021. Five galleries from across Canada will come together in a collaborative effort to showcase some of Canada’s best artists by designing a small-scaled art fair inside SBG. Visitors can look forward to curated collections highlighting Contemporary and Historical artworks. We are excited to welcome back Michael Gibson Gallery, Pierre-François Ouellette Art Contemporain, TrépanierBaer, and Wil Aballe Art Projects.
Spontaneous visits are welcome, but appointments are encouraged. Entry will be timed to every 30 minutes.
We are pleased to be participating in ADAC's Toronto Gallery Week. This online and in-person initiative supports and promotes galleries in the city with ongoing or special in-gallery programming, including those who are hosting other galleries in their spaces during this week.

To ensure a safe experience for our visitors, proof of vaccination (or medical exemption) paired with a valid photo ID will be required at the door for entry for all guests over the age of 12.
