Spence Gallery opened its doors in June 2005 and was a welcomed addition to the Toronto art scene. Located in Mirvish Village, it specializes in contemporary expressions of Caribbean, Latin and African culture. Each year, the gallery will present about eight themed group exhibitions showcasing emerging, mid-career and established artists.

Spence Gallery was founded to share culturally diverse artistic expressions. It provides a taste of contemporary art of Caribbean, Latin American and African artists and the Diaspora. It is dedicated to diversity and celebrates the cultural influences of the artists.
