Amazing Moss Park Artists, Toronto-based multidisciplinary collective founded and curated by Carol Mark.

OUR ART CALL- an individual has the impact to impact on societal/global issues
“It is not in the I but the us as humankind.
What is it to be human?
We are the only species in the animal kingdom that needs to be defined—a monkey knows what it is to be a monkey.
For humans it is sometimes constant life long exploration.
For myself it is what I say and do with conviction.
It is not dependent on what is in fashion or to hide in the safety of words but to take risks.
It is sometimes a place of loneliness and to be okay and comfortable with that feeling.
It is to give until it hurts.
To be in action instead of inaction, even if it is in fear.
To relieve suffering
Without ego and to step out even to be outspoken.
It is about us and not about I.
Not to judge what others have done but to look at one's conscious choice to engage in the creation of a better world."
Are You brave enough to answer my call and change the world?
Carol Mark, Gallerist/Curator/Artist

183 Gallery, we envision a world where art & music are accessible to everyone. We believe that creativity is a fundamental human trait that should be nurtured and celebrated. Growing up in downtown Toronto, the owner Carol had the fortune of being exposed to the arts at a young age through the philanthropy of Ed Mirvish and the Inner City Angels school based programs. Remembering intimate places that showcased flamenco guitar or jazz with Joel Shulman at the Garden Party on Avenue Road....where one could go and get close to the music and musicians in small venues.
183 Gallery believes art can change the world through your community
