ArtScape Youngplace - 180 Shaw Street, Toronto

Built on the site of the beautiful 1914 Givins-Shaw Street Public School, Artscape Youngplace has been a cultural hub since its opening in 2013. This fully accessible space features beautiful early-20th-century architecture, an on-site cafe, proximity to beautiful Trinity-Bellwoods park, and is easily accessible by bus and streetcar. 

In addition to one of Artscape's Flex Studios with sprung floors and lots of natural light, we have a space for panel discussions and lectures (and coffee and snacks) in the  Smart Cookie Club studio. This space also includes a courtesy room for breastfeeding mothers. 

Got a car you need to park?

Your best option is one of two Green P lots - these are located at:

  • 18 Ossington Avenue
  • 1117 Dundas Street West
    • both are a 6-minute walk from the space
    • both are $1.00 per half-hour

On your bike?

There are several bike racks at the entrance on Shaw Street.
