I agree with you and Dan Fox: there are a lot of "doors of perception" or rather "the opacity of the frosted-glass gallery windows that prevent passers-by from seeing any artwork."

I recently visited the Guggenheim Museum and Biennale in Venice and was impressed enough by the contemporary art (at least at the Guggenheim) to want to investigate some small galleries upon my return to TO. I did go to the large showcase at the Convention Centre in late October and loved it.

But, when I look around the city (I live in the burbs outside), I don't know where to begin. Any small galleries I do find are quite uninviting. And feeling that I am being left out in the cold by not knowing the right people does me and the artists a disservice.

Perhaps I could be the next Peggy Guggenheim. But the art world today doesn't seem to want any more of those.

Too bad.
