January 29th to 31st
National Arts Center, Peter Katz – Jan. 29th (7:30 PM)
This Saturday the NAC presents Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Peter Katz. Katz, who has received much praise for his folk sound and stunning vocals, was recently crowned Best Male Vocalist in NOW Magazine’s Best of Toronto 2014 poll. We recommend that you catch the Katz hype.
Studio Sixty Six, Split Spit Mound by Amanda Boulos – Jan. 30th (5:00 PM)
Split Spit Mound is a painting and video installation by the incredibly talented Toronto artist Amanda Boulos. The abstract work is described as an intrusion into personal history, military conflict, and the duality of cultural identity. We are fascinated by Boulos’ use of geometric shapes and colours, and we think you will be, too.
