Pony
(Toronto. Canada)
Magic Pony
is a shop, studio and gallery. We specialize in collaborating and showcasing
artist products and exhibits. We work with a wide range of multi-disciplinary
artists who create designer toys, t-shirts, books, plush, prints and unique
household items alongside their body of artwork.
The Magic Pony space was created by Steve Cober and Kristin Weckworth
in 2002. It began as a small collector’s circle, with us importing
everything we loved in designer toys from Asia and selling it to a small
group of collectors. This space grew to a website and the website grew
to a larger shop. Finally, the shop grew to incorporate a gallery. Today
we exhibit both local and International artists, many who have never shown
in Canada before and are considered to be the leaders in their respective
fields. To compliment each art exhibit we work with the artists on creating
and showcasing products for the shop.
Most of the products we carry are limited edition, so the shop is always
changing and this adds to the enjoyment of our space. One month you may
come across hand drawn walls and forest creatures by Nathan Jurevicius,
the next you might find the walls covered in giant pages of a colouring
book by Kozyndan, a few months later you might see giant Space Monkeys
invading our space by Dalek. Magic Pony was created for people to enjoy,
learn and be inspired. We say “a shop for creative animals”
because we have created a space that allows people an outlet to showcase
work and connect with other creators and enthusiasts.
