The 4th Annual "Artwherk!" exhibit is on!

Dedicated to showcasing the work of talented, emerging queer artists, the Artwherk! Collective has once again brought together an inspiring group of people this year. The Pride Week art extravaganza opened last night and runs through til June 30th at Hotshot Gallery .

The Monday-night opening party had an otherwise quiet Kensington a-buzz as crowds ate, drank, mingled, and took in performances by the always fabulous, Ryan G Hinds, Toronto's new all-male burlesque troupe, Boylesque (with a hilarious Mormon intruder routine), and DJ Craig Dominic tying it all together behind the turntables.
