EXHIBITION: Hey Come Inside: Project 165 Open House Weekend (May 28-30)
by rosalyn
Project 165 is pleased as punch to announce Hey Come Inside: a weekend-long open studio art event featuring drawing, painting, installation, video, performance, photography and other work by Project 165’s studio artists, volunteers and other friends.
This is a unique opportunity to gain special insight into the vibrant culture of one of Toronto’s most unique artist-run spaces and to consider that, as art writer Sarah Thornton put it, the studio “isn’t just a place where artists make art but a platform for negotiation and a stage for performance.”
Project 165 is a DIY social art space that opened in the summer of 2008. It has a “storefront” exhibition/event site, clubhouse space and art studios.

Hey there! For anyone in the Toronto arts community who might be interested…. there is an awesome new competition called Articluate. Some may have seen the big orange posters up around the city.
If you don’t know what it’s already about:
We are working together to further promote Queen Street West as the creative center of Toronto, and of Canada as a whole. This is a competition to capture the essence of the constantly evolving Queen West area as it is now, using video and/ or photography as your medium! It’s absolutely free to submit your work, and anyone can be a part of it, whether you’re a professional, an up-and-comer, a student or a hobbyist.
The prizes are awesome- they include makeovers, wardrobe consultations, gift certificates to suit anyones taste (champagne/ hairstyling/ amazing clothing/tattoos/ yummy food) and more. The BEST one of all is that the top ten entries will be looped together and displayed in the model suite of the ART presentation centre, and later in the lobby of the very beautiful ART condos building; the winning photos will be displayed in this lobby as well, as part of a rotating exhibit. This is a chance to put your work on display in a prime location for a huge audience, which will include many influential people.
