HOWARD PARK INSTITUTE
The HOWARD PARK INSTITUTE (HPI) was located at 2088 Dundas Street West, Toronto and ran from 2009-2020.
Conceived as a public art space, HOWARD PARK INSTITUTE (HPI) occupied a large storefront window overlooking the sidewalk at the busy intersection of Dundas Street West and Howard Park Avenue. It was located in a 100 year old commercial storefront building that housed the studio of painter and HPI founder, Catherine Beaudette on the ground floor. Over the years its monthly exhibitions of a single artwork became a landmark in a steadily transforming neighbourhood. For many years, exhibiting artists were invited by Catherine Beaudette, David Clarkson and, for a short time, guest curators The Gathered Gallery. Over twelve years (and roughly144 artists), the HPI venture developed a diverse audience of locals, commuters and art lovers, which only ended when the building was sold in 2020.
