Your dorm walls were covered in Thai fabric and Degas prints. Today your
tastes have changed. Manny Neubacher (an artist and gallery owner) and
Anya Shor (a fashion stylist) of The Art Stylists have some fabulous
tips:
1. We love Open
Studio for affordable original works on paper by Canadian
printmakers. Its perfect for great art on any budget ($50 +) or specific
stylistic preferences. In addition, all artists can be viewed online and
the studio/gallery is a pretty cool space. Open Studio, 401 Richmond St.
W., Toronto, 416-504-8238, www.openstudio.on.ca/
2. We utilize Circuit
Gallery for affordable contemporary photography. This online store
has a great selection of affordable photography that feels very current
and cool. We often find pieces that can add a great pop of colour to a
room. Why not get it mounted on dibond and plexi for a very clean and
original look? www.circuitgallery.com
3. Elisabeth Legge is the best
spot for finding antique prints. It takes a little bit more time and
patience, but you can find pieces that won’t break the bank. Elisabeth
Legge, 37B Hazelton Ave., Toronto, 416-972-1378, www.leggeprints.com
4. Sometimes a great
vintage poster can add a great element to a room depending on the
rest of the decor. They range in price depending on many factors (size,
rarity, etc.) but many can be had for $100 to $500. I Desire Vintage
Posters, 438 King St. W., Suite 1607, Toronto, 416-977-7932, www.idesirevintageposters.com
5. We use Toronto
Image Works to mount all our photographs.
