Here's a sneak peek at the room I will be installing for this year's In Situ II multi-arts festival: Making Space, Making Place.
​
One of my favourite events of all time was the first In Situ festival in 2018, held at the then-abandoned factory space known as the Small Arms Building in Mississauga.

Produced by the Small Arms Society which saved the building from demolition, they were also instrumental in persuading the City of Mississauga to take over ownership of the site (renamed the Small Arms Inspection Building) which means the building is now partially renovated and features heat and running water (and bathrooms!), none of which was true for the first In Situ. Not that that held us back!

When I update this post I will show you a photo of the room I am creating an installation for, happily it's in the old, unrenovated wing – I do so love the decrepit beauty of it!

​Finally, I am planning to do live drawing again each of the three nights from 8-9pm.
​Hope to see you there!

UPDATE: TONIGHT IS THE BIG EVENT! OPEN UNTIL 1:00 AM!
​
Installation starts this weekend for ​​@redheadgallery, a short-but-sweet group members' show that ends with a bang during Toronto's massive Nuit Blanche all-night art event.

You can join the throngs on Saturday September 29 (I'll be there from 5 to 7pm) or have a nice quiet look at the work starting Wednesday September 26 when the gallery will extend its regular hours to 7pm, as well as during regular open hours (12-5pm) on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On Saturday night the gallery will stay open until 1:00am.

If you've been following this news section or my social media this year then you'll know that being accepted as a member at The Red Head Gallery collective was probably my biggest accomplishment in what has been an exciting year. So...

I'm delighted to be in my first show as a Red Head member!
