Sports is a very essential part of the Canadian culture and lifestyle, which is why one business has taken upon itself to carry forward this legacy. The Sport Gallery honours sports’ rich history and long legacy, providing a one-of-a-kind experience that captivates both sports fans and collectors. The exhibition in Toronto’s renowned Distillery District brings to life the lively stories of the past via an incredible collection of sports memorabilia, artwork, and vintage-inspired apparel. Each exhibit honours the legends, moments, and accomplishments that have shaped the world of sports.
The Sport Gallery, inspired by the trailblazing SPORT magazine, initially published in 1946, commemorates an age when athletics captured the imagination of North Americans. The magazine focused on the post-war sports boom and established an unequalled photographic and journalistic legacy. Following SPORT’s demise in 2000, a group of Canadian sports writers purchased its archives, establishing a space where its illustrious history could be relived and cherished.
Visitors to The Sport Gallery are transported into a world of classic sports stories. The walls are adorned with historic SPORT magazine covers and unique fine art prints of original photographs featuring the era’s top sportsmen. The collection also features vintage clothes and headwear inspired by SPORT’s distinct style, including clubs such as the Brooklyn Dodgers and commemorating iconic people such as Jackie Robinson. The exhibition brings to life Robinson’s pioneering role in Major League Baseball, as initially documented by SPORT in 1947, and preserves his tale for future generations.
With its chosen collection and nostalgic atmosphere, the Sport Gallery continues to commemorate sports history, preserving the spirit of SPORT magazine and making the game’s beauty available to everybody.
