So nice to be home to celebrate #IDPWD2022 this weekend, alongside Councillor @ChantalHuinink and many others!
Christkindl was also on, @kwfamous’ pop up shoppe was hopping, @WrGlobe and @kwartzlab hosted markets, and I got to help present South Asian Family Sports Day awards 🎉

Our studio renovation is coming along. Looking forward to the start of our artist-in-residence program. Offering 425 sq. ft. of newly renovated space with 9.5' ceilings for a 6 mo. term. The program is new so we are open to suggestions. Local artists DM me with your interest.

#PRIDE has a lot of history to it. In 1969 at Stonewall, there was an uprising, a push back to say LGBTQ+ people can exist with the opposite of shame, which is pride. We here at kwartzlab want you to be able to do more than come visit, we want you to feel welcome and safe. 1/2

Something delicious is coming to Kitchener this summer for CAFKA.21. Here is some "research" & sketches for YAY HAY! by Ottawa based artist Karina Bergmans. YAY HAY! will be a series of tarp covered round bales dressed up to look like jelly rolls and other sweet cakes. #CAFKA21

We made it happen, Kitchener! Excited to announce that there are six miniature artworks on display until April 9th in Little Library "art galleries" in Kitchener celebrating the city's vibrant art scene. Get outside and check them out: bit.ly/38KRUpe #KWAwesome #DTKLove
Calling all #LittleLibrary📚 stewards in #Kitchener! Do you run an existing little library - on private or public land - that's underused in the colder months and could be repurposed as a mini art gallery to house the work of local artists? Let's connect! theglobeandmail.com/arts/art…
