From late 2005 until early 2011, Craig Scott Gallery introduced exceptional artists to Toronto and a wider audience. Craig Scott Gallery has ceased as an active venture but now seeks, by maintaining its website, to showcase the work of the gallery artists who worked with the gallery during this period. 

Craig Scott continues as a professor of law at Osgoode Hall Law School and has been chosen as the NDP candidate in the upcoming federal by-election for Toronto-Danforth, which was the riding of NDP Leader Jack Layton. See Craig's NDP website -- volunteers and donors welcome! -- HERE  and Craig’s nomination brochure. The nomination meeting to decide the NDP nominee was January 9, 2011, with Olivia Chow as guest speaker.  A Toronto Star interview can be accessed HERE. He can be followed on twitter @CraigScottNDP and befriended on Facebook.

The year 2009 marked the 100th anniversary of Malcolm Lowry's birth in Liverpool, England, with major scholarly and artistic events organized around this centenary. One of them was a mega-conference at the University of British Columbia (in collaboration with Vancouver Island University), at which a slide show of all of prints by Jorge Martínez from his Lowry/Under the Volcano series were projected as part of the opening of the conference. Following the UBC Conference was a multi-disciplinary extravaganza at a public arts centre called the Bluecoat, in Liverpool (The European Union's City of Culture for 2008). Craig Scott Gallery worked with the Bluecoat to provide eight Martínez works for the exhibition…

(above) Maleonn, Nostalgia No 8 (in edition of 15, 60x90 cm, and edition of 6, 90x135 cm).

Since his inaugural May 2006 Transfigurations show at Craig Scott Gallery, much of note has happened that justifies understanding Maleonn not only as one of the most exciting and important photography-based artists working in China today but also as an artist who has made his mark globally in very short order. His work has generated a steady stream of recognition and accolades. Craig Scott Gallery became Maleonn's first gallery (in late 2005) and continues to represent him worldwide. [Read more. ]

In 2009, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh mounted a major retrospective of the works of Oakville, Ontario, artist Naoko Matsubara, widely (and long) recognized as one of the world's greatest woodcut printmakers. The Carnegie Museum shared the retrospective with Chatham University's art gallery, with 72 pieces exhibited at the Carnegie and 20 at Chatham. Paralleling the show, Matsubara was awarded an Honourary Doctorate to Matsubara by Chatham University. The Carnegie exhibition followed on from another major Matsubara exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum in 2003, “Tree Spirit: The Woodcuts of Naoko Matsubara.” [Read more.]
