Le Bain Mathieu










La SPAG/Bain Mathieu
2915 Ontario E.
Built in 1931, La Spag/Bain Mathieu is hardly a new space, but it has achieved talk-of-the-town status based on its gradual transformation into a multifaceted event space over the last two years. This is literally an old pool, complete with original ceramic floors and walls, a dome roof, an integrated sound system, and a standing bar around the pool. With a capacity of around 600, patrons congregate either on the floor of the pool, or enjoy the spectacle poolside. This versatile space has been used for everything from fashion shows, video shoots, DJ events and TV and film locations to corporate parties, dance performances, concerts, art exhibitions, seminars and bar mitzvahs. It’s an intimate and unique space that is definitely artist-friendly, and able to accommodate just about anything.
