| | 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. We asked him about what he’s coveting in home decor. |

| | For our January issue, we asked prominent Torontonians for insider tips and tricks that make life in the city better. Chef Eva Chin’s recommendation: peanut-free dan dan noodles (and more) at Szechuan Noodle Bowl. “The name is deceiving: you think it’s just a noodle joint (which is what the non-Chinese customers order),” says Chen, “but it’s the best place in downtown Toronto for Szechuan food.” |

The story follows a resident assistant in her senior year at the University of Arkansas as she receives a tantalizing offer from a visiting professor that soon turns her life upside-down.
