    A unique free art art gallery with a wide range of art styles. There are small gallery spaces on each of the floors and cozy areas to read, research, or draw. Well curated and always something new and fascinating being presented throughout the year. Well worth a first, second, and third visit.

    An exceptional art space, well hidden in plain sight 🙂 Exhibition spaces, a studio, and quiet art library to spend some quiet time in. Go visit, and then keep visiting because now you know where it is 🙂

    A great place in the city to visit, relax and enjoy the work of these artists. Glad I saw it today. It opens at 12 pm and there was not any one yet when I visited there. It is free and there is a place to sit and read about their work.

    A hidden gem with a warm welcome and a place to view art. Quite enjoy the reading room and comfortable seating. Discover something new and rest while reflecting on it for yourself.

    humble front for a v cozy v well curated exhibit ft local artists (my favourite as of late including Floyd Kuptana’s half human/animal sculptings) and loads of plants throughout this 3 story / 2 section split gallery, giving it a lush and homey feel that is unique in the city’s art spaces. the basement’s workroom is also open to the public, which was a real treat to view WIPs - another unique aspect of Arcturus. and, photos are allowed! manager, Ed is a sweetheart who really cares about people taking time to enjoy themselves, and we had a lovely conversation about seeing works in a new light upon reflecting in the company of strangers - a must visit to this maze-like gallery :)

    Such a cool place and it's free!! The owner is so nice and friendly too. They have new pieces every few weeks I'm pretty sure so every time you go there it'll be something different!

    Gallery Arcturus is it’s own little world, despite being packed inside two centennial townhouses. It hosts a variety of art styles, while the showings are fluid, changing gradually with time and providing a fresh experience every time I go.

👍👍 I normally don't leave reviews, but based on my personal experience today, I feel compelled to say a few words about QUEEN OF PERSIA restaurant. Let's start with the restaurant itself. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. The beautiful artwork on the walls was like walking through a museum...

😠 The worst GYM you can sign up for. No air conditioning, Membership staff is rude and arrogant and once you register you can not cancel your membership they will email you that your membership is cancelled and will still charge your credit card on file. Please be cautious.
