In this video, we are checking out the brand new KAWS art exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). KAWS is a world-renowned pop-culture artist, who is known for his amazing sculptures, clothing, toys and more. One of the more popular KAWS sculpture is COMPANION - a grey-scale figure based on the Mickey Mouse whose face is obscured by his both hands. His KIMPSONS collection is off the charts. This exhibit is his first ever Canadian exhibit, and we were thrilled to be able to check it out as part of the Members-Only Preview.
We'll also take you through the AGO store and show you what merch is available for purchase from the KAWS collection.
General Admission starts October 11, 2023 and is slated to run through March 21, 2024.
Visit the AGO at 317 Dundas Street West Toronto, Ontario.
While we were visiting the exhibit, we noticed an amazing Harry Potter store just across the street. We'll take you on a tour through the store, and show you all the unique treasures it holds!
Visit the Wizard Market at 346 Dundas Street West Toronto, Ontario.
ABOUT US:
My name is Cate, and joining me is my husband James! We are from Toronto, Canada, where we live with our two cats, Manny and Tilly. We are childfree “elder millennials” who just love having fun together and filming our adventures. We decided to start this Vlog, mostly because of me! I (Cate) have a bachelor’s degree in Radio & TV, and worked in TV for 10+ years before switching fields - and I was looking for a way to explore my creative interests in filming and editing, but in a fun/not career focused way, and we came up with this channel! It’s now become a super fun way for us to connect with each other - and we would love to connect with all of you out there as well!

cant wait to check it out next week!
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Finally, the AGO brings a show with as much enthusiastic public engagement as the Yayoi Kusama show. I'm looking forward to the Keith Haring exhibition next month!
We would have to agree and are also looking forward to checking out the Keith Haring exhibit!
What a cool place to visit! Beautiful artwork. I had never heard of Kaws before but this is so vibrant and colourful! Amazing cultures and paintings. Lol the simpsons are cute. So many cool sculptures. Some are so huge! Cool there’s an AR component. Love that it’s interactive. Ouuu Harry Potter shop! Love it! Love the ticket to hogwarts and love potion you got! Thanks for sharing with us, great video as always! 😊💕
The exhibit was so super cool! Definitely my style of artwork... I find that even though I love art, I don't really gravitate towards some of the more traditional pieces these days, so it was really cool to see something that I felt really spoke to me! The Harry Potter shop was also super cool! Apparently it's been there for 4 years, and I've walked by a million times, but I've never noticed it before! Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts!!
Love the Harry Potter shops! I was thinking about checking them out this fall, but now I have to make sure I do, because these look incredible! 😍
Wait... did you say... shopS, plural?! Are there more out there that I need to discover?! Haha... maybe we need to plan a creator day and go explore together! :D
@@ever.after.adventures yes! There is Wizard’s Market which you went to, but there is also a shop called Curiosa which is Harry Potter inspired too! And that sounds like a great idea!!!
@@fandomsandfigments Ohhh! Yes you're right! I know that place. I went in there a while back when it was still located in Parkdale... Pretty sure they've moved now.
Up for it any time you are!! :)
The KAWS exhibit looks very interesting. Had no idea it was inspired by Mickey Mouse - very cool! The Harry Potter store looks awesome too. Will definitely have to check it out next time I’m in the area. Were prices reasonable?
It was super cool! I didn't know about the Mickey Mouse inspiration until I read about it on the description of the piece. In doing my research for this video (after the fact), I've realized that I want to go back and check it out on a more in-depth level! The Harry Potter store was super cool! Prices were decent, depending on what you were looking at. The Loungefly that James pointed out was I think $125, which is way too high (I saw the same one on Amazon.ca for less), but other things, like the scrapbook paper/stickers were pretty much exactly what you'd find them for at say, Michael's, but with a bigger selection. I didn't look too closely at the pricing for clothing, because I wasn't in the market for it. I ended up buying a Love Potion necklace and a Ticket to Hogwarts, and I paid about $17 after taxes... which I think was reasonable!
