Celebrate! Celebrate!

Yes, it is that time of year. The time of excessive sugar, excessive spending and squealing at the sight of sparkly plastic snowflakes. Here are a few things that have been happening with us this December:

1.We are in residency mode! Kitchenband Productions are in the space at the moment. We will take a peak at what they have been working on during our final Residency Showing on December 20 at 7 pm – all are welcome! View the invite here.

2. We have been following Toronto Budget Committee deputations on December 7 and 8 remotely – thanks to multiple Twitter correspondents and extensive reports by Torontoist: Day 1 and Day 2. Amazing to read some of the arguments and suggestions that deputants brought to help oppose cuts to the City’s essential services, including arts and culture funding.

3. Holiday music marathon - non-stop, with brief breaks for Regina Spektor. Battles JB vs MJ vs Mariah vs Hanky, the Christmas Poo – ongoing.

4. Holiday Office Decorating Party on December 3 complete with pizza, ginger bread cookies, candy cane, mulled cider and Franco handcrafting a garland out of a piece of ribbon and green and red shiny balls. Check out the photos!

City of What?

Absolutely right – ’tis the City of Craft, the arts and crafts show that is the awesomest and craftiest of them all! This year City of Craft happens on Saturday, December 10 and Sunday, December 11 both inside our space and at Thrush Holmes Empire next door.
