galleryDK : About the Gallery
Toronto Photography Gallery
galleryDK seeks to present photographic and photo-based work examining and exploring all facets of the urban experience. Not only in Toronto, but around the world.
We bring you images and issues of social and urban pertinence such as transportation, consumerism, poverty, built environments and the urban space.
Gallery Origins
The DK Photo Group had their first show, "Forgotten", during the Contact Toronto Photography Festival in 2006 at the Round House Gallery of Steam Whistle Brewing. The work was very well received and the success continued in the fall of that year with the "Orphaned" show at Hang Man, the Gallery of the Artists' Network.
The DKPG mounted their third show during Contact 2007, "DKonstruction". Though it was their best show ever (in terms of reception and sales), the experience with the gallery was far less than desirable. After this last show, the group collectively decided to be in control of their own fate, thus they opened galleryDK and mounted their third Contact show "anamnesis" in May of 2008.
After being voted the Best New Gallery of 2008 by blogTO's readers, we have tried our best to live up to the moniker. Our shows have run the gamut from Bosnia warfare to Icelandic mannequins. We have held events for charities such as Gulu Walk. We continue to grow and expand our reach, bringing new and interesting art to Toronto.
