Manifesto LOVE
On Sunday, hundreds of people including myself were treated to many hours of live entertainment and other awesome activites during Manifesto’s all day “super” block-party. The weather was so nice, and the good vibes were definitely floating around as we watched Dundas Square transform into a multidisciplinary urban arts playground; featuring live performances by some of Canada’s musical legends, emerging talent, not to mention the handful of international guests. There were also tonnes of vendors, a bboy/bgirl open dance floor, lots of good food, workshops, and so much more! If you weren’t there, you totally missed out. I was bummed that I missed the First Look Cypher (heard it was awesome), but I’m glad I was able to catch the rest of the performances, cause they were dope!
Watching these artists turn plain new era snap-backs into works of art was awesome!

Taking it Uptown: Art for Change
On Friday I took the hike uptown to East Harlem for the Art for Change “Noche Clandestina.” Tucked away in an unassuming basement gallery, the night was full of art, spoken word, and a special burlesque performance by Brown Girl’s Burlesque.
Art for Change encourages the advancement of progressive social change by using art as a catalyst for disseminating information to people.
Artists used various mediums to convey experiences, struggles and aspirations, inspiring people to consider, with a questioning eye, their ways of life, their environment, their roles, how various systems work, and ways to improve their lives and environment.

The Courvoisier Collective
How much fun did I have at The Courvoisier Collective gallery exhibition last night? Too much fun. The cocktails were flowing, there were yummy appetizers, I don’t remember not laughing or having a smile on my face, and it was such a pleasure to be around so many talented artists! I had a GREAT time.
“The aim of The Courvoisier Collective program is to provide local artists with what they crave most- space to display their art and exposure for the best and brightest local talents.”
It was lovely bumping into many familiar faces, and I had an awesome time serving the ladies of PraxisPR, heavy doses of my craziness! Thank you so much to Courvoisier, and PraxisPR for allowing us to be part of this experience, and to all the artists for sharing their work with us.
peace and love
