Queen Street West, you’ve changed.\u00a0The Gladstone Hotel is embracing this ongoing change with an innovative project that will transform a former doughnut shop across the street into the\u00a0Gladstone\u00a0<\/a>Art Hut<\/a>: an\u00a0art gallery and incubator for Toronto artists. The project hopes to spark conversations about the history while imagining the future of this site and others like it in our city\u2014imbued with largely forgotten memories and on the cusp of transformation.<\/p>\n

\"TheIn only 6 months, the empty storefront property will become a condo sales centre, and eventually a multi-story condominium will be erected. Until then, it will act as an extension of the Gladstone Hotel’s many experimental art-activated social spaces, facilitating new ideas, creative expression, collaboration, and new ways of experiencing art, culture and community. Through this project, the Gladstone Hotel has invited\u00a0artists, collectives and organizations to explore how urban spaces are claimed and re-claimed and examine themes of temporality and transience. What do we imagine and hope will happen here in future and how do we build community in a post-gentrified neighbourhood?<\/p>\n
