LITERATURE | SLOW Book Launch In Toronto

ART | Melissa Fisher at Fine & Dandy
Word is spreading about Toronto artist Melissa Fisher, who is becoming known for her ability to transform a gallery at street-level via "window installations". Fisher's geometric sensibilities, flowing lines, and colourful shapes have a feminine and futuristic vibe that is both captivating and evocative. Fisher's transformation of the Fine & Dandy space concludes this evening. Fine & Dandy Gallery (2017 Dundas Street West) 7PM FREE
