The Hangman Artist Gallery

I can see no reason to name a gallery ‘the hangman’…or having it placed so far East on Queen Street. The neighbourhood is ghetto… it’s the equivalent to having a liquor store in the middle of Forest Hill.
I got wind of a Chinese artist’s exhibition, so I hopped on the street-​car and away we go! The further East I travelled on Queen, the tighter I clinched onto my wallet. I got off at a part of town I’ve never been before, and when I found the gallery I was relieved. The Hangman Artist Gallery is a one&a-half level space of corner store sized floor space. The reception occupied a quarter of the first floor, and the second floor was storage. I was greeted by the friendly ladies behind the counter, and after I explained that I was here to videotape some of their exhibits, I was allowed to do so with no pressure.
A humble real estate, but considering where it was in town it was a very calm environment. The brick walls complimented the artwork. It was nice
This gallery often hosts social functions for opening exhibits, and from the photos it doesn’t look too shabby.
Some useless information for the gallery: It is apart of the Artist Network. whatever that is. There are plenty of brochures and postcards of upcoming events available at the gallery, the staff are happy to provide any assistance.
Not much to say about such a simple venue.
The art were selling anywhere from $ 700‑2500 a piece. The artwork in particular I was viewing were traditional Chinese painting with folklore characters holding luxury retail brand items. Slightly amusing.

There’s nowhere to actually play hangman… just in case you were curious.
