art shows.
Sunday, April 26th, 2009
i was at the A Disposable Art Show last night with some friends at the Bait Shop (www.baitshop.ca) which was fun. i always like seeing the creativity and designs of others which i sometimes think i lack. i know it’s is not always true but as the saying goes - we are our own worst enemies. i won’t lie i was so tempted by all the good art. i wish i had the extra dosh to buy one of the art decks because not only were they good but all profits were going to an excellent cause, The Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation. if you have a chance maybe head down there and take a look and if you can maybe buy something to support people in need now and for the future.
after the show Jen and Lil took us down to the Gladstone to check out the 5th Annual MADE Show (www.madeshow.com) which had a bunch of artists and designers showing their wares. one of the bartenders at Unit, Elena, was there with her custom jewelry and we got to talk to some of the other artists as well.
both venues were small and personally i like them that way. they’re more intimate and interactive. you can chill and just talk to people and the artists about their artistic thinking process, thoughts about the world and/or who will win the Stanley Cup or where to get a good sandwich.
to close things off we headed for Ethopian food after babbling in the rain about where we wanted to go eat. rain makes for hurried decisions but still a good decision.
music: metric - sick muse
