ART HUB of the Great Lakes @ Twist Gallery Toronto

There is a natural light on the north shore of Lake Superior that invites imagination to explore its soul. The spirit transports the viewer. The artistic expression that follows resonates. At this creative vortex it has always been that way.

The Art Hub Of The Great Lakes Show & Gathering features a collection of such paintings. This event happens in Toronto from November 1 – 30, 2026 at the Twist Gallery. The opening night gala date is November 5, from 6 to 9 pm..
