MJG Gallery, 555 Parliament St.
Thank you Cabbagetown -
See you soon, Leslieville!
MJG Moving & Art Sale
It's official. MJG Gallery is moving to 1028 Queen St East in Leslieville! After two years in Cabbagetown, it's time to move forward and settle into one of Toronto's continually evolving districts. Barely several minutes from my current location by car, I'm really looking forward to this new step for the gallery.
In the meantime, to make my transition easier and hopefully lighter, ALL current artwork in inventory will be discounted 5-75%. BUT please keep in mind the discount will be coming off MY commission and will not at all affect the artist's livelihoods. There is still a marketplace to maintain.
If there's a painting or two you've been eyeing here, now may be the time to finally buy. And yes, I still offer layaway plans while (of course) you can still try any artwork on approval in your home, without the obligation to buy.
The sale will run until my move, some time in August.
Many thanks
Mark Gleberzon @ MJG

Through July, poss. part of August
