Gallery Director Ineke opened the doors of Abbozzo Gallery in 1993, then located in the narrow but warm 179 Lakeshore Road East in Oakville with the simple goal of exhibiting “Artwork that thrills and inspires.”

Starting as a local project representing regional contemporary artists, over the course of thirty years the gallery has grown, moved to our larger space in Toronto at the famed 401 Richmond Building, and have been exhibiting artists from across the globe, attending fairs internationally, and placing artworks in collections and museums around the world. 

Throughout the years we’ve been blessed to have the support and loyalty of our beloved artists for decades, artists such as Naoko Matsubara, Dan Steeves, Ron Eady, Jennifer Walton, Heather Horton, Cora Brittan, Yury Darashkevich, Mary Ellen Farrow, Camie Geary-Martin, Arnold Zageris, Barbara Amos, Olexander Wlasenko as well as the pleasure of welcoming newer faces such as Patty Maher, Kelly Grace, Katharine Burns, Fabiana Salomao, David Wilstermann, Vladimir Kanic, Stephane Alexis. 

Mark your calendars for the opening reception on Friday, November 17th from 5-9 PM. The opening reception will be filled with artists in attendance from both near and far who are will be celebrating this momentous evening with us. As always, admission is free and RSVP is appreciated. Contact us for an exclusive look at our anniversary exhibition prior to the opening.
