Todmorden Mills - Views Along the Don
Views Along the Don
An online Art Exhibit based on the exhibition that ran at Todmorden Mills Papermill Gallery from July 27 to September 4, 2011
City of Toronto Museum Services, in partnership with the Don Valley Art Club and other local artists, presents the online exhibition "Views Along the Don."
The theme of the exhibition is the changing Don Valley landscape; featuring contemporary artworks by 30 members of the Don Valley Art Club (DVAC), as well as by other local artists.
The Todmorden Mills were the first among several dozen mills built along the Don River during the 19th century. The river and its valley landscape are fundamental to the history of the site, as well as being an inspiration to artists for more than two centuries.
One of the oldest art clubs in Toronto, the Don Valley Art Club was founded in 1948 in a public school on Chester Avenue by a group of people whose shared desire was to create art. A few years later the club members, who strongly identified with the valley of the Don River, built a clubhouse at the foot of Don Mills Road. In 1972, the club then moved to Todmorden Mills, which was its home until 2000, when the DVAC relocated to a restored building at the old Toronto Brick Works. In 2011 the club moved north to Eglinton Ave West, near Avenue Road. For more information on the Don Valley Art Club visit their website www.donvalleyartclub.com.
