ABOUT US
INDUSTRIAL ARTS, LOCATED AT 200 STEELCASE ROAD EAST IN MARKHAM, IS A 5-ACRE WORKING SITE COMPRISING THREE INDUSTRIAL-ZONED BUILDINGS. THE UNITS ARE CURRENTLY LEASED BY FABRICATORS, IMPORTERS, PRINT SHOPS, AND OTHER LIGHT INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURERS. AFTER OVER 40 YEARS OF SERVING THIS TENANT BASE, OWNERSHIP IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF THE NEXT GENERATION AND A NEW VISION FOR THE SITE HAS BEEN DRAFTED.
THREE PHASES OF REVITALIZATION WILL TRANSFORM INDUSTRIAL ARTS INTO A SITE FOR ARTISTIC EXPERIMENTATION. WORKING WITH THE CURRENT TENANTS AND THE SURROUNDING INDUSTRIAL COMMUNITY, INDUSTRIAL ARTS AIMS TO CONNECT BUSINESS TO THE ARTS THROUGH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL EXCHANGE, RESULTING IN UNCONVENTIONAL COLLABORATIONS, COMMISSIONS, AND PROJECTS THAT BENEFIT BOTH ART AND INDUSTRY.
