Show & Tell at Akin River
Next month Akin's very own Erin Candela and Özge Aytekin are hosting a relaxed and fun ‘Show and Tell for Artists’ at Akin's River studios (7 Labatt Avenue, 3rd floor).
This Show & Tell will kick off at 6:00pm and Akin members and other Toronto artists are invited to show completed works or works in progress and get friendly feedback and answers from their peers in a casual studio setting.
Feel free to bring art to share, bring a friend or two, bring snacks or drinks or just bring yourself! Come for the conversation or just to meet other artists and makers. This is a FREE public event - everyone is welcome!

Our first floor studio has no additional steps, but one must pass through two doors leading to the hallway which are not automated. To access our third floor studio there 20 stairs to 2nd floor and then another set of 20 stairs to the 3rd floor. There are two doors you must walk through on the second floor to get to the stairs to the third floor. These doors are not automated.
All genders bathrooms are on the first and second floors of the building. Bathrooms do not have automated doors and the toilets are not raised. There are no grab bars in the bathroom and the stalls are narrow. Doors to the bathrooms are narrow and the door is heavy. Bathrooms are locked to the public and require a key to enter.
There is no elevator for regular use in the building.
