Located in the 20-acre Harbourfront Centre, it is surrounded by several other small arts institutions. The Power Plant houses large-scale international exhibitions of cutting-edge, avant-garde new media work.
The 9000-square-foot space features three main gallery spaces over two floors (with the space shifting for each exhibition), and also utilises a central glass-roofed corridor. The venue hosts the annual summer fundraising gala, The Power Ball, which is one of the top events on Torontonians' social calendar.
