This month Akin is hosting a relaxed and fun ‘Show and Tell for Artists’ at Akin's St. Clair studios (1747 St. Clair Avenue West). This month's Show and Tell will have an Earth Hour twist! Artists are encourage but are not required to share art that relates to Earth, green living, sustainability, etc and to bring a dish for our Earth Hour celebration.

The Show & Tell portion of the night will kick off at 7:00pm and will be followed by an Earth Hour potluck celebration beginning at 8:30pm.

Shortly after 7pm Akin members and other Toronto artists to show completed works or works in progress and get friendly feedback and answers from their peers in a casual studio setting. Earth Hour is held annually encouraging individuals, communities, and businesses to turn off non-essential electric lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 pm on a specific day towards the end of March, as a symbol of commitment to the planet.
