An arty, treat-filled holiday countdown

ADVENT CALENDAR designed by Cade Roster Recommended by Stephan Jost, director and CEO, Art Gallery of Ontario

“Our advent calendar is a sprawling 25-door robot factory by artist Cade Roster. Every morning leading up to Christmas, our nine-year-old daughter rushes to open another door. Behind each one we place a little gift: a chocolate, a coin, a pretty stone. This season, I suggest buying a unique work of art made by a local artist, something that will bring you joy (and help an artist survive a difficult year).”
