Representing the best in Canadian photography, Salon 44<\/em>  is a feast of photographs, an incredible collection of over 100 established and emerging artists.

Every photograph on display was up for sale and is likely to go fast. The energy in the room at the opening was electric. Images, barring no relation to one another, are arranged in a salon style display. Allot yourself quite some time if dropping in. There is no shortage on what to view. I found myself moving almost in a figure eight through the crowd, heading back to certain areas to look at a piece again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gallery 44\u2019s walls offered an assortment of color, subject matter, hue, composition and general creativity. No one photograph was quite like the other. If in the area during its week you must step in to see what Salon 44<\/em> has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening reception was bursting with visitors still. The turn up comes as no surprise seeing as the Gallery\/Non-profit Centre has been up and running since 1979. It is a staple on Toronto\u2019s art scene for its initiative in the realm of photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
