Originally launched in 2018, ArtMEETS is a series of low-cost arts workshops in Toronto’s east end, which invite adult community members to make, explore, experience, transform, and share. Led by talented, engaging, and supportive artist facilitators (both emerging and experienced), ArtMEETS workshops will take place on Saturday afternoons at St. Matthew’s Clubhouse in July and August, 2023 and will give adult participants an opportunity to learn a new art skill, meet new people, and let your creative side shine!

Urban Space Gallery, 401 Richmond Street West.

Welcome to an immersive Crip Fashion Utopia. Here, we celebrate fashion that forms crip imaginations, connects communities and rebels against expectations. Join us as we walk, roll and dance down the runway in honour of bodies, our beauty, our imperfections and our crip fashion dreams.

As an extension of the exhibition Cripping Masculinities: Designing Crip Fashion Utopias at Tangled Art Gallery, this fashion show features participants from the Cripping Masculinities research project showcasing a selection of their everyday clothing and re-made garments that celebrate their crip masculine identities. We highlight the fashion imagination and wisdom that comes from the experiences of disabled masculinities, demonstrating new ways of belonging and desire for disability through fashion.

Urban Space Gallery is in a barrier-free location. ASL interpreters and care attendants will be provided. Service animals are welcome. We request that you help us make this a scent-free environment. The fashion show, exhibition, and related events are free to attend. Please note, this event will be recorded and photographed, please let staff know if you don’t want to be recorded or photographed.

The Cripping Masculinity project explores how Disabled, D/deaf and Mad-identified men and masculine people make and re-make worlds with clothing. It is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), Toronto Metropolitan University, The University of Alberta, Parsons School of Design, Bodies in Translation: Activist Art, Technology and Access to Life at the University of Guelph, and Tangled Art + Disability. »
