Joys is open on Saturday, 1-5 pm, or by appointment.
The gallery is located in a garage accessible via the paved alleyway directly behind 903 Lansdowne Ave. You can enter the alley from the north (just south of Lappin Ave at Lansdowne), or from the south (north of Wallace ave). There is a distance of approximately 150 metres (110-120 steps) from the north-west entrance to the alley. The doorway is street-level and approximately 47 inches wide. There is room for one vehicle to park directly outside of the entrance.
There is no restroom on site.
About
Joys is an independent gallery in Toronto, Canada initated by curator and writer Danica Pinteric. Joys’ program of exhibitions, readings, and public conversations explores the politics of vulnerability and the strength of process-driven, intuitive practice. The gallery’s core tenets are sustainability, collaboration, and trust.
Joys exists on lands that have known human activity for over fifteen thousand years. Tkaronto (Toronto) sits on the traditional territory of the Wendat, Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Métis, and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. The lands and waters fostering life in this area today belong to the Dish With One Spoon Territory - an arrangement between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas, and Haudenosaunee allowing them to share and protect the land in peace. Joys is run by a settler of Eastern and Western European ancestry.
