Circuit Gallery specializes in contemporary photography. Established in 2008 by Susana Reisman and Claire Sykes, the Toronto based commercial gallery represents both emerging and established Canadian and international artists.
In 2014 Circuit Gallery entered a presentation partnership with Prefix Institute of Contemporary Art, giving the gallery a long-term exhibition venue in the 401 Richmond building, a destination arts-hub in downtown Toronto. Circuit Gallery @ Prefix ICA holds regular exhibitions at this location.
