The Academy of Spherical Arts started as a private club in 1991 and now operates as a full service restaurant and special events facility. On occasion the Academy is sold out for special events and private functions. With this in mind it is always best to call in advance to confirm availability and avoid disappointment. Please contact our events department at 416-532-2782 to confirm.

In loving memory

A door left open.
For Rick.

Rick Williams created the Academy of Spherical Arts—a place for beautiful things, good company, and a life well lived.

The Academy closed in 2012. This is its world, brought back to life in his memory. Step inside and imagine another evening at One Snooker Street.
