Magic Pony

Magic Pony is a gallery, studio and retail space dedicated to exploring the traditional notions of fine art and design by presenting work that challenges the boundaries between art, commerce and creative living. We look for products with a sense of humour, innate style and creativity that hasn’t been cornered.

Magic Pony is located in the Queen West Art District in Toronto, Canada. We collaborate with progressive multi-disciplinary artists to create unique exhibits and products. Designer toys, apparel, printed matter, plush and multiples are showcased alongside more traditional forms of artwork giving a unique perspective into an artist’s complete body of work.

The Magic Pony space was created by Steve Cober and Kristin Weckworth in 2002. It began as an intimate circle, with Magic Pony importing a rare selection of designer toys from Asia and selling it to a small group of collectors. This space grew to a website and the website developed into a retail environment. Finally, the shop expanded to incorporate a gallery. Today we exhibit both Canadian and international artists, including Kozyndan, Gary Taxali, Team Macho, Junko Mizuno, Sonja Ahlers, Derrick Hodgson, Misaki Kawaii, Space 1026, Dalek, Nathan Jurevicius, Nicoletta Ceccoli and Gary Baseman. To complement each art exhibit we work with the artists on creating and showcasing products for the retail space.

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 a mural representing giant colouring book pages by Kozyndan, and next you might discover sinister Space Monkeys invading our space by Dalek.

Magic Pony was created for people to enjoy, learn and be inspired. We say "for creative animals" because we have created a space that allows people an outlet to showcase work and connect with other creators and enthusiasts.
