Junction Triangle

Hello!

I’m a piano teacher and recently moved to the neighbourhood.

I've developed a unique program that explores music making through improvisation and composition, allowing for students' own interpretation and creativity to be a strong part in their learning process. I want to inspire children of any age to learn music, even starting at ages 3 or 4.

I teach out of my home studio located at Symington and Bloor. Here is a link to my website for more information:

A new Toronto-based company, SonderMill.com, will be hosting a pop-up shop event this Friday and Saturday at Metropolis Factory, 50 Edwin Ave.

The event is free and open to the public. There will be over 100 unique, handcrafted products showcased and available for sales; furniture, lighting, mirrors, decor and other home furnishings. All items are made independent makers and artisans, primarily from Toronto, but some others will be featuring from Montreal, New York, Los Angeles, Portland and Nashville.

It's Andrea Kuzmich, a local singer/musician and mom of 2 boys (5 and 11). I’m hosting MusiCamp again this year, an all day (9am-4pm with extended care options) music camp for kids (8-14 years) in our home studio close to Dufferin Grove park. I've included a few links in the description below if you want to know more details. You could also just visit the blog/site at www.MusiCampTO.wordpress.com or email me at MusiCampTO at gmail.com.

The Fourth Annual Art Spin Exhibition

158 Sterling Rd. (West of Lansdowne, North of Dundas)

Opening Reception Thursday August 29th , 7pm - 1am

Exhibition runs August 30th - September 1st
Hours are 12-7pm Friday and Saturday, 12-5pm Sunday

Built in 1920, the Tower Automotive building had an industrious history in aluminum, sheet-casting and automotive parts. In 2005 it was designated a heritage site and then shortly thereafter, closed. For years the ten story historic structure sat abandoned, occasionally accessed by trespassing graffiti artists, photographers and urban explorers alike.

The Fourth Annual Art Spin Exhibition takes its cue from the building it occupies, featuring works that explore its industrial heritage and history of neglect and decay while highlighting the disappearance of Toronto’s industrial past.

This group exhibition curated by Layne Hinton and Rui Pimenta of Art Spin features works in various mediums including site-specific installation, sculpture, painting, photography, new media, and performance art.

You're invited to an evening where the worlds of vintage fashion, electronic jazz and mystery collide - and we thought the Junction would be the perfect place to do it! Hosted by master Illusionist & Mind Reader Mysterion at 3030 Dundas West Thursday August 22nd.

Let the men behind Toronto based vintage clothing company The Eye Of Faith take you on a "Rebel Without A Cause via Psychic Witch Ritual" fashion journey with their style procession that will kick off the show with a bang.

Hello Everyone
As a singer/mom based in the neighbourhood for over 10 years I wanted to share a new summer music day camp located close to Dufferin Grove park. see the posting on the Dufferin Grove website (bot of page) www.dufferinpark.ca

July 15-19 The Blues: From Shouts to 12 Bars 9am-4pm
July 22-26 West African Drumming 9am-4pm (co-hosted by Anna Melnikoff and her orchestra of drums!)
July 29-Aug 2 Composition and Song 9am-4pm

No formal training is required. No instrument required - just a love of music. But our intuitive approach to exploring sound, music, composition, the voice, and the weekly themes also functions as a great supplement to conventional music lessons.
