Ways to support local.
The Beasting is an awesome 24 artist collaboration launching this month and running through Halloween. In the spirit (spooky) of the 1920’s drawing game “exquisite corpse”, each artist has contributed part of a scary beast’s body without seeing the other 23 parts – creating something with six different heads, six different upper torsos, six different lower torsos, and six different legs and feet that can be combined in many charming and disarming ways to form six shape-shifting beasts. Each artist will share their story and their contribution on Midtown Radio starting this week too. Visit thebeasting.ca to learn more.
Legacy Green’s Pay it Forward campaign for July is in support of Anishnabeg Outreach, an awesome organization that provides Indigenous people with access to culturally appropriate services and strives to support individuals with direction and assistance to overcome barriers.
We didn’t know what section to put this in - but you can make your own LEGO version of a local Clearpath Robotics robot at home with these instructions!
