Gardiner Ceramic Art Museum and Exhibition Review
Last week I visited the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, downtown Toronto, to take in the Museum and their latest exhibit Camp Fires: The Queer Baroque, a World Pride themed ceramic art exhibition. I have never been to the Gardiner Museum, as ceramic art brings to mind Royal Doulton figurines, but I was mildly surprised at its collection of very interesting ceramic art and of course the bold Camp Fires exhibit..JPG "Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art in Toronto and Untitled sculpture by Jun Kaneko")
The Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art opened in 1984 by George and Helen Gardiner to house their ceramic art collection. It was managed by The Royal Ontario Museum but after 1996, it gained its independence. Today it boasts three levels of ceramic art galleries, both permanent collections and special exhibitions, a cafe and bistro, and offers a variety of clay classes for all ages and experience levels.
