If you’re in Toronto, drop by a Patio Party we’re co-hosting in the courtyard at Scadding Court Community Centre (707 Dundas St W). It’s a free, family-friendly outdoor event with a special performance at 9pm (hint: flash mob).

There will be art and music by members of the Lab, as well as pop-up vendors, crafting areas for all ages, and food of many flavours. Our friends at Long Time No See Collective also have a poster art exhibition on view at Scadding Court.

Kwoi Gin will be exhibiting Longing Belonging Redux, a beautiful show of story, image-making, and homage to unarchived histories.

The work is being installed in our new public Lab space. Located at Dundas and Bathurst, the Lab is now part of Toronto’s oldest and longest-running shipping container district, affectionately known as Market 707.

We’ve taken over a shipping container with a clear floor-to-ceiling glass facade that opens up on to a large courtyard, which we’ll be animating with art and outdoor gatherings.

With this glass-front store space, the Lab is furnishing a public ‘petri dish’ for art, community, and research experiments. We’re calling it the PlaySpace.
