Where Toronto, January 1999 Betty Ann Jordan Dynamic Downtown Art Touch down at five of the scores of galleries that make up Toronto’s downtown art scene. ARCHIVE GALLERY IN LATE 1995 ARCHIVE GALLERY and Art Library (883 Queen St. W., 416-703-6564) co-owner Patricia Christie, who also designs film sets, identified a need within the booming Toronto film and television industry for art that could be rented on short notice. When she met her soon-to –be partner Johnson Chou, they expanded their target audience to include architects and art consultants. To make the lives of hardworking professionals easier, Christie and Chou digitally documented more than 10,000 artworks. In short order, Archive- which also sells art- has become a favourite with the public. While Archive continually mounts rotating salon-style art exhibits, visitors can also sit at a computer workstation and search the database for artworks by type, subject, style, medium, artist and value. The gallery couldn’t do more to make contemporary art accessible.
