The Polygon Gallery is pleased to present its annual Holiday Shop from November 13 – January 5. An annual tradition, the gallery’s main floor will be beautifully decorated and carefully curated with unique gifts by independent makers and artists. Additionally, there will be weekly interactive activities for visitors to enjoy, such as holiday craft workshops, vintage photography sessions, The Shipyards annual tree lighting event, and even a pop-up tattoo parlour.
After visiting the Holiday Shop, guests are encouraged to take in the Gallery’s three winter exhibitions The Lind Biennial, Tau Lewis: Coloratura, and Tales from the Crypt. Admission to see the exhibitions is always by donation, courtesy of BMO Financial Group. Through the holidays it’s free for all visitors who spend over $100 in the Holiday Shop or the Diane Evans Bookstore.
