Toronto events on Thursday, July 11, 2013

ART | Petheadz
Photographer Zach Rose believes owners look like their pets and takes the idea to a new level. Cleverly placing DSLR captured images of dog's heads atop the bodies of their owners, Rose's Petheadz is an amusing photo series in which humans and their pets become one (in a non-demented way). Opening tonight at 2186dundas, the show will run until next week. Keep an eye on the gallery's Twitter account (@2186dundas) to see if the rumours of open Petheadz portrait sessions are true.

FOOD | Tasty Thursdays
Nathan Phillips Square becomes CafĂŠ Cubano during lunch hours today for Tasty Thursdays, a music and food series in front of City Hall designed to get people out of the office and into the square.

Each week during Tasty Thursdays, a different culture is represented with free music and lunch foods for under $7.

FUNDRAISER | Boys' Night Out
A wine tasting for a cause--and a reason for men to get reckless and rowdy--Boys' Night Out will be raising funds for prostate cancer research. Hosted by Lifford Wine & Spirits and presented by Audi Downtown Toronto, the evening is essentially a bachelor party in disguise with cars, boats and motorcycles on display, barbequed food and oysters as well as live entertainment and auctions. Funds raised will go directly toward Prostate Cancer Canada and The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. Tickets are available through Lifford Wine's website.
Evergreen Brick Works (550 Bayview Avenue) 7PM $100

The whimsical indie piano-pop gem is currently celebrating the release of her latest album Eat A Peach and will play the Gardens of Song series tonight, weather permitting.
