SHOW US YOUR GOODS!!
Everyone loves a good art collection, and in a city like Toronto there are so many local artists to support and be inspired by. Being a ''collector'' no longer requires a lot of money, or some kind of ''expert'' background. During this event we'd like to hear about your collection (low-brow or not) and how you got started, from zines to oil paintings, patches to prints, show us what you got and where it's from. :)

How it works:
Join us on May 6th at 6:30 pm by using the link above. It's a relaxed and fun way to highlight the art that you love, and support the creatives that make it! Focus on your favourite piece, a memorable back story or how you got started! We also have a special guest joining us. Wellness expert Shadi Mogadime will be starting off the event with a short centering exercise; an easy practice in creating focus and drawing one's attention to the present moment.

Due to the 2h time limitation for this event we may not be able to accommodate everyone's collection the first time around. We have decided to host a second Lowbrow Art Collecting Show & Tell on Wednesday, May 27th 2020 as well to make sure that everyone has a chance to speak. Email us at erin@akincollective.com to be added to that show & tell schedule if you don't get chance this Wednesday.

Feel free to share art or simply log on to chat about art with your fellow Akin community members!
This is a FREE event.
