The Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada rents its ground floor for receptions, dinners and corporate events for up to 200 guests, and offers small meeting rooms for teams of up to 12. It occupies the Tower Automotive Building at 158 Sterling Road in Toronto's West End, a building known for its concrete columns.
Seminars and company events
Floor 1 is the main rental space, with a stated capacity of 200 people. Exhibited artworks stay in place during a rental, so the event takes place inside the current exhibition, which suits a product reception, a client evening or a launch. Floors 2 and 3 can be rented at an additional cost, though their capacities are not given on the page. For work sessions, the museum has office spaces used as meeting rooms, including the Executive Office and The Nook, for small teams of up to 12. Meeting rooms can be booked at any time, and staffing costs may apply outside standard hours.
Floor 1 setup, the event and takedown must fall outside public opening hours. These were listed as Wednesday and Thursday 11 am to 5 pm, Friday 12 to 9 pm, and Saturday and Sunday 10 am to 5 pm, although the page footer shows slightly different times. Confirm the current hours before choosing a date.
Weddings and receptions
The pages describe receptions, galas and corporate events and do not mention weddings. For a private celebration, ask the events team whether it is accepted, because artwork remains on view.
Rooms and capacities
Floor 1 holds 200. Floors 2 and 3 have no published figure, and layouts and AV equipment are not described. A venue rental brochure is linked from the museum site, and the events team can send capacities by layout. A cleaning fee applies to all Floor 1 rentals.
Catering
You may use your own caterer. The museum's preferred partner is Provisions Food Agency. A fee is added to food and drink, set at a lower rate with the preferred caterer than with a non-preferred one. The museum does not run its own kitchen service.
History and setting
The museum is housed in the former Tower Automotive Building, a concrete-framed industrial building. The pages read give no further history. The museum reopened on October 4, 2026 after a period of closure for an installation.
