8.4

The Esker Foundation is a truly remarkable space. It provides a unique opportunity for the community to engage with contemporary art without any cost, making it accessible to everyone. It’s wonderful to see a place dedicated to fostering creativity and thoughtful dialogue through art exhibitions, and it clearly inspires those who visit.

The building itself is quite impressive, serving as an artistic statement alongside the displayed works. It’s evident that a great deal of care and consideration goes into curating the exhibits, leading to a very enriching experience for all. It is a space dedicated to creative expression and a wonderful asset for the Inglewood area.

So much to see in this beautiful space and that too FOR FREE. Sweet lady at reception. Thoughtful work by Babak Golkar and Caroline Monnet. Descriptions made me understand the beautiful artpieces. Their themes and meanings ⭐️ The wall dedicated to young artists made it more special.

Free gallery with lots to see! The exhibits are thoughtful and you can spend so much time reading through. There’s free 90 minute parking too if you validate. Such a sweet spot.

It's a really neat place to check out if you are in the Inglewood area. They always have some interesting art exhibits to explore. The times I visited were free of cost. It's worth making a stop in to check out

Natalie Hood (☆ 5/5)

I really enjoyed my visit here. The exhibition was interesting and different. I especially liked the piece about guano - I learned something new. It is worth a visit to this gallery if you're in the area. It is small and didn't take long to look around. It is located on the 4th floor, there is a lift or stairs. There are public toilets inside the building. Best of all it is FREE!

Visited with my lady. The entire building is a modern work of art. The esker gallery is a beautiful gallery that encourages the diversity and unique contemporary art style. Very beautiful and inspiring artworks! Easily spent there 2h.

This place is unbelievable!! My daughter and I came here after seeing an advertisement on the street, and I am so glad that we did. There were free exhibits that allowed us to have quality bonding time! While forming these lifelong memories, we were also able to inspire my daughter's natural love for art, as she is an artist herself. I love this place, and we are hoping to check out the Fall exhibit once it releases! Thank you to everyone who contributes to the display of these masterpieces.

I’ve been to the Esker a couple of times now and been good experiences both times. In fact, I wish there was more art to view! Of course there are limitations in relation to space I’m sure but seeing the displays and the thought behind them is wonderful.
