Holiday gifts will be on sale at the Dundas West gallery, with a nail art bar, Crywolf Claws, set up for $10 manicures and free teas and treats provided.

BOOKS & LIT | Write Club Toronto, Chapter Three: "Jingle All The Way...To Hell"
Like Fight Club for writers, Write Club shows bookworms how to battle it out in front of a live audience. Two writers given opposing ideas have seven minutes to competitively write in four separate rounds. Only one writer will win based on the audience's choosing, with the cash prize going to the charity of their choice. This month's Write Club is going to get bloody.
