About Magic Pony

Magic Pony is an art gallery, boutique and studio space located in Toronto, Canada. Magic Pony collaborates with multi-disciplinary artists to create unique exhibits and products. Designer toys, clothing, printed matter, plush and household items are showcased alongside more traditional forms of artwork giving a unique perspective into the artists vision.

Magic Pony was created by Steve Cober and Kristin Weckworth in 2002. It began as a small studio catering to collectors, quickly grew into a website, which expanded into Canadas first art-toy boutique. The Magic Pony Gallery opened soon after in 2003. Today Magic Pony exhibits both local and international artists, many who have never exhibited in Canada before and are considered leaders in their respective fields.

Articles on the gallery, exhibitions, and artists have been featured in: The Toronto Star, The National Post, The Globe and Mail, CBC Radio, TVO, MuchMusic, Elle, Bits Magazine, Juxtapoz, Res, Pound and in many international publications. Exhibit collaborators include Rojo (Spain), Fying Cat (HK), Resfest (USA), Toy2R (HK), Strangeco (USA), Recon (USA) and Cross World Connections(JP). www.magic-pony.com

le. Gallery was opened in 2003 in the transitional neighbourhood of Little Portugal located at Dundas St W and Ossington Ave. in Toronto. The 1000 Square foot space focuses on the promotion and exposure of emerging and mid career artists in critical contemporary practice. Channeling a need to create a critical forum for contemporary art in Toronto and strengthening the careers of emerging artists around him, director Wil Kucey has forged a path of professional representation for artists yet to break into the commercial market. In its first two years, le. has garnered a solid reputation for itself and its artist with multiple reviews, locally, nationally, and internationally as well as inclusion in exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (MOCCA), New York, as well as being voted runner up for Small Gallery of the Year by Eye Magazine and a nomination for Emerging Curator of the Year from the Untitled Art Awards. The mandate of the gallery allows for the exhibition of work in all mediums and facilitates the introduction of emerging artists to not only to the public but also to collectors and the upper tier galleries in the city. le. strives to promote emerging artists in the contemporary art field with a strong focus on work exploring graphic elements and links to the subgenres of society and culture.
