Since 1996
Propeller Art Gallery is the last remaining artist-run gallery in the Queen Street West Art + Design District. Since 1996, it has thrived as an independently funded space: innovative and self-sustainable.
As one of the earliest galleries to lay its roots in the burgeoning Gallery District, Propeller is excited to continue to expand its innovative programming as it remains an integral part of the neighbourhood art scene over twenty-five years after its inception. Â
