Located in the thriving arts district of Queen West, Twist Gallery has been enriching the community for over 15 years. What began as a small gallery showcase for local artists has grown into Downtown Toronto's most inspiring multi-purpose creative venue.
Our airy 5,000 sq ft loft provides the ultimate blank canvas whether you need space for a 50 person meeting or 250 person gala. Soaring 20ft ceilings, polished concrete floors and towering windows flood the open concept space with natural light.

Beyond the venue itself, it's our dedication to creative expression that makes each event unique. Inspired culinary partnerships and curated art exhibits set the stage for remarkable experiences. Groups leave changed, with fresh perspectives sparked through cultural immersion.
