We waited in the gift shop which resembled the National Gallery of Canada slash Belkin Art Gallery for Lisa & Joseph. Once we all met up, the inevitable "Are we all going to Art'd, free drinks after?" With the answer: Obvi.
Alas, our adventure as a group of 7 walked around and like the Group of Seven art, we were quickly bored. We lost Lisa & Joseph was on the phone. 1st floor - pass. 17th Century Netherlands just wasn't my thing when I studied Art History in University. As we past the ivory carved heads I thought I saw Bobby take a swig of his mickey. This was a sign, move on!.
Bobby, Bart & myself proceeded to the 5th floor (We lost Nelson, he HAS a job & went to do it), Perf! Our scene, Contemporary. A few photos quickly taken, a few security guards telling us not to take photos later and we were out.
The art collections were ok. We are fortunate, being cultured art lovers we have been to many galleries in our time. The AGO has a bit of art, just not our style. It's good to go on a Wednesday night 6-8:30, it's free. You can take a quickly look and perhaps go back a better look. Take advantage of all of the free art shows in Toronto, we are very lucky to have them.
We quickly rallied outside and planned our route, Joseph, Lisa, Bobby & Justin - LCBO. Bart & Jen, grab Nelson & meet at Czehoskis. Drink tickets and a photography exhibit later, it looks like Bobby and I are going away...for WORK.
Dominican in 2 weeks!! (crosses fingers)
