One of our all time favorite Toronto artists is the pastel princess Shanna Van Maurik.She will be selling her work at the Drake lobby on June 1st as a part of our Akin + Pixel & Bristle pop ups. Shanna's work is as fun as her lipstick collection. Meet the dreamy artist behind the acid washed portraits as we visit her in her studio.
In the lead up to opening Drake Commissary, we take you behind the scenes for a sneak peek of our opening exhibition Fast Forward featuring Alex McLeod, Camille Jodoin-Eng, Adrian Esparza, Dahae Song, Maxwell N. Burnstein, and poet Kevin Connolly.
We've got quite the art collection and to give you an inside look on how head curator Mia Nielsen gets inspired, check out her photo diary of her trip to this year's Venice Biennale!
In anticipation of our live performance of Shaun Gladwell's epic video artwork Skateboarders vs Minimalism at The Drake Commissary's June 24th block party, in partnership with Luminato, Mia Nielsen shares a conversation she had with the artist some months ago in London, UK as they began to plan his Toronto takeover.
Pixel & Bristle is Toronto’s most exciting design & typography market. This summer, we are excited to welcome them to our pop up series, where you can purchase outstanding works from Toronto's most talanted artists and designers!
