On the opening weekend of Another DECADE, Koffler Arts features a Curator’s Walkthrough by David Liss.

Koffler Arts began 2024 with DECADE (February 22 - May 12, 2024) to celebrate 10 years since Youngplace at 180 Shaw St. opened as a vibrant hub for arts and culture in the west end of Toronto. That exhibition spotlighted eight contemporary artists creating work in Youngplace. Another DECADE is a follow-up exhibition focused on the arts organizations that have called Youngplace home over the past decade.

Participants will hear from David Liss, curator of DECADE and Another DECADE, about the artists involved with these organizations, and will have the opportunity to ask questions.
