Architecture

The Get Off On Art galleries are surrounded by new contemporary architecture and contemporary renovations of historic industrial spaces. Many of these these buildings are located in the downtown city cores of the region and are often within walking distance of the galleries. The architecture is worth a visit both inside and outside, for both the casual observer and those more seriously interested in architecture in Canada. It is astounding to see how many notable architect designed buildings are in the region. Take a walk around and see for yourself!
