London, Ontario - October, 2005

On October 1st and 2nd, 2005, Philip Aziz opened the doors of his studio and gallery, and received close to 800 visitors. Of the 74 sites opened to the public throughout London, Philip's Studio proved to be one of the most popular. Demand was so great that access had to be provided on Sunday as well, despite the original one day opening.

In local media, Philip was featured prominently in articles promoting the Doors Open event. Plans are already in the works to include the gallery and studio in the 2006 Doors Open tour.

Here are a few of the 260 comments from visitors of the gallery and studio:
"As a Londoner, we are so proud of you!"
"A veritable feast for the eyes and soul"
"You are a national treasure"
"An honour to view – A wonderful experience"
"You have provided us with a profound privilege. Thank you"
