Propeller has garnered critical acclaim and engaged public interest by supporting the creative, curatorial, and commercial endeavours of artists.

History

Established in 1996.

For the past 18 years, Propeller has thrived as an independently funded space: innovative and self-​sustainable.

Founded in 1996 by a group of OCAD recent graduates, Propeller was conceived as a centre where artists could support one another as a community; providing emerging artists with opportunities to display their work and a venue to enter the local market.

In 2001, the gallery moved from its original installment at 96 Spadina to 984 Queen Street West, where it lived for 12 years. In January 2015, Propeller Gallery moved to it’s current location at 30 Abell Street, in the Artscape Triangle Lofts.
