The Culture Hub provides a dedicated, curated and welcoming space to display Baycrest’s stunning and extensive art collection, host external exhibitions, and offer programming for Baycrest’s clients.

The Culture Hub is located on the ground floor of the Apotex building, across from the WA Café. In this art gallery-like atmosphere, the space is transformed with rotating, curated exhibitions throughout the year. It is an area meant to engage the Baycrest community in conversations, stimulate interest, and spark dialogue.

Included in the Ronald & Nancy Kalifer Culture Hub is a warm, inviting and accessible seating area where residents, their families and companions can gather, laugh, muse and dream while feeling inspired and surrounded by pieces from Baycrest’s renowned art collection, as well as specially curated exhibitions drawn from the broader cultural community.

For more information or to book a tour of the current exhibition please contact the Art Project Coordinator, Meghan Richardson at mrichardson@baycrest.org

Donation of Art for our Art Collection

To make a donation to the permanent art collection, contact our Arts Project Coordinator, Meghan Richardson at 416-785-2500, ext. 5538 or email MRichardson@baycrest.org.

You will be asked to forward digital images of the art piece, along with a description of the art and what you know about its history. You may send this information via email.

Our art committee will review the images and if it meets our criteria, we will make arrangements with you for the art to be brought in. This process may take from 2-4 weeks.

Gifts-in-kind are recognized by Baycrest at their appraised value, and tax receipts are issued. Outside appraisals, at the donor’s expense, are required for proposed donations whose value exceeds $1,000.

Please note that we cannot accept every art donation we are offered.
