In a crowded hall of Exhibition Place, Love Art Fair<\/em> held the opening night of its second appearance in Toronto. With several international galleries, and many from the city, Love Art Fair provides a unique experience for viewers. As fair director Nicole Milkovich noted, the fair has an eclectic mix of works that hopefully anybody would be happy to enjoy. Milkovich explained that she had high hopes for this weekend, a notion seconded by several of the gallery owners.<\/p>\n

Anthea Baxter-Page representing the Alison Milne Gallery from Toronto was excited for their second appearance at Love. Reflective of Alison Milne\u2019s interior design practice, the booth is showcasing several photographs, and works of artist Nissim Ben Aderet who created a \u2018live\u2019 painting near the fair\u2019s entrance.<\/p>\n

The Recent Graduate Exhibition booth features a collection of works from recent graduates, curated by Arianne Di Nardo. Her mission was to create an exhibit that highlighted young female artists and their emerging role in the art world. For artist Stephanie Flowers, an OCAD graduate of 2013, the fair is her first, but she was excited to show her pieces. Annyen Lam, an OCAD graduate of 2012, was showing three lithographic prints, meticulously hand cut to create a three-dimensional effect. The Recent Graduate Exhibition booth offers a slightly different experience to viewers, one that speaks to the ever-changing world of contemporary art practice.<\/p>\n

With all of the different styles, it would be difficult not to find something to love at Love. The event is also hosting interactive workshops, a Print and Kids Art studio ran by Matthew Del Degan, that allow guests to participate in art creation. Participation is a big aspect of Love, from the intertwining paths to the hands-on production, Love\u2019s success depends on the guests, and their acceptance of the welcoming invitation that Love provides.<\/p>\n

The fair as a whole is smaller than last year and it is better viewable in its entirety. There is a good balance in terms of quantity, quality and medium.<\/p>\n
