| In 1997, Kenneth Montague, a dentist and long-time art lover, opened a mini art gallery in his Richmond West loft to showcase his personal collection. He called it the Wedge Gallery and exhibited the work of (at the time) lesser-known Black artists like Carrie Mae Weems and Kehinde Wiley. Now, Montague is a major player in the Toronto art scene: MOCA is currently hosting an exhibition of portraits from Montague’s 400-piece private archive.
