We're reintroducing a TO 3 For All, our weekly roundup of three upcoming community and cultural events worth checking out in the week ahead. 

This week, we have:

Villa Toronto
Union Station Great Hall
January 16-23, 2015

Co-organized by Art Metropole and Warsaw's Raster Gallery, this massive contemporary art festival joins over 20 contemporary art galleries to “use the curatorial experience of private galleries to create encounters with the general public and local art communities that are innovative, stimulating, and not merely market driven.” The weeklong program is free and open to the public.
