We get to see our work on the big screen! We’re thrilled to have our film, O Espaço (The Room) premiere today at the InShadow Lisbon Screen Dance Festival @inshadow.festival! It’s an honour to be included in this world class festival dedicated to works of dance for film.

A big shout out to our collaborators on this project: Jeremy Mimnagh @mimnagh.ca (Director), Pulga Muchochoma @pulgamuchochoma (Choreographer, performer) and The Bentway @thebentway (Co-producers).

What a weekend!

While we recover from a jam packed Art Spin bike tour and Wet Sounds presentation we wanted to take a moment to thank all the people that make our projects possible.

Thank you to our board and volunteers, who show up over and over to give time to us and our community and jump into last minute tasks with a smile.

Thanks to our artists for being willing to experiment with us, take risks, and trust our out-of-the-box thinking.

Thanks to our staff and suppliers – our small but mighty team who go above and beyond to make projects like this seem effortless to those outside.

Thanks to our co-presenters at @musicgalleryto for sharing a vision, expanding on that vision creatively, and supporting our DIY approaches.

Thanks to the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation, @torontopfr in particular the aquatics team, who really made our dream of presenting art in a City public pool a reality.

Thanks to our funders, the Ontario Arts Council @ontarioartscouncil an agency of the Government of Ontario for their funding support.

And finally, thanks to you, our audience, for bringing your energy, enthusiasm, and curiosity. We are so grateful to have people who are willing to follow us on a mystery bicycle tour, and jump in the deep end of a pool with us.

We’ll share a proper recap of last weekend’s project’s soon! Stay tuned for more.

Postponed to Sunday!

Same time, same place, but better weather! The pool is currently heating up to 30-32C to ensure a comfortable float for Wet Sounds this weekend.

We had to make the difficult call to postpone both events to our official rain date on Sunday September 8th, all ticket holders have been notified and we hope to see you all then.

If you haven’t gotten your ticket yet visit the link in our bio to snag yours 🎟️ and join us on Sunday for the bike tour, the pool experience, or both!

🙋🏽‍♀️ Who’s been on a group bike ride?

We are in our 15th year of Art Spin and this weekend will be our 26th Bike Tour! (If we counted correctly…)

Art Spin bike tours are a roving curatorial project that situates commissioned, site-specific works in unique public spaces throughout the city. Each tour gathers hundreds of people on bicycles to visit the multidisciplinary installations and performances in a one-of-a-kind event. With few details released beforehand, Art Spin tours ask you to trust our curators and allow yourselves to be surprised by both the creative programming and the unusual spaces to which they lead you!

See you in the pool this weekend? 💦

We can’t wait to share Wet Sounds with you, an immersive underwater sound installation and live performance. Rarely do we have the chance to work with international artists but this project is so exciting we needed to bring Joel Cahen (@_newtoy) for his underwater expertise and creativity.

You can experience Wet Sounds as the finale of the Art Spin bike tour starting at 2pm or come for a pool session only (with a mobile sauna!) at 7pm.
