The Arts

Unless you have been living under a sheet of ice, as a Montrealer or frequent visitor you should know about MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE… you know, one of the largest winter festivals in the world, drawing 900,000 fans to experience the joy of Montreal wintertime through performing arts, gastronomy, outdoor DJ parties, original discoveries and so much more

Calgary, it's time to get ready for some drama. The wildly creative Gob Squad theatre group from Berlin is in town this week and they are here to shake things up with the most boundary-pushing entertainment you might see this year

It was an evening of art and entertainment on Saturday evening for The Theatre Centre’s first fundraising event, Bounce.Though we weren’t sure what to expect from the event (we had a feeling that the $250 ticket price tag would keep most YPs away), one guest we didn’t expect to see was Rob Ford

The trio behind Espace 40 include Claudine Blanchet, a renowned stylist, Pierre Choinière, an internationally renowned photographer, and Denis Dulude, a leading graphic designer, all of whom cherished this project for a very long time

Offering another reason to love summertime in the city, Luminato Festival, Toronto’s 10-day festival of creativity, is back for its 7th year. Running today through June 23rd, Luminato illuminates Toronto's stages, streets and public spaces with arts and creativity
