What's better than an art party? Join us on Thursday, October 24 for a Collage Party with Tessar Lo, presented by Issues Magazine Shop. Doors at 7PM / Talk and workshop starts at 7:30PM / The East Room at 50 Carroll Street / Snacks by Panificio Bruno / Wine by Grape Witches These workshops are different than our intimate, in-store experiences. (Sidebar: Those are amazing and we seriously suggest you attend one.) But these are built for a night out with friends. Pull up a seat at our art table. Sip on a glass on wine, while our artist host tells you about the magic of collage—and how they weave it into their practice. Get messy as you cut and paste your way to your own masterpiece. Collage is a practice that pulls together different materials —often discarded or scrap paper—to make a new whole. It's one of the most accessible forms of art making. It's more about the experience of doing than it is about the final outcome. Collage has a tendency to evolve and morph in unexpetected ways. And according to this session's host, Tessar Lo, collage is about play. It's an opportunity to break free from linear thinking and to make space for discovery. Meet our host: Tessar Lo is a Toronto-based visual artist and instructor. A graduate of the Illustration Program at Sheridan College (BAA 2007), Lo has participated in exhibitions in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Hong Kong, Paris, Tokyo, and in the United States in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco He has also participated in museum exhibitions and programs at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles as well as the Gardiner Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery in Toronto. Lo has had prolonged stints working in New York, Los Angeles, and several parts of Asia. He currently shows with Jaski Art Gallery, Amsterdam, and RIVER, Taichung. Important: Each ticket includes access to the artist talk, a 2-hour collage workshop, all the snacks you can eat and a splash of sparkling at entry. Grape Witches will be pouring additional drinks for purchase. Panificio Bruno will be serving up some delicious foccaccia—including a vegan option. Plus we'll bring some chips and candy to really ramp up those craft club vibes. Tickets are non-refundable and any updates will be communicated to you as early as possible. Questions? Reach out to hello@issuesmagshop.com About Issues Magazine Shop: Issues Magazine Shop is an independent magazine retailer founded by Nicola Hamilton. Issues is a clubhouse, a gathering place for magazine lovers, and what we hope will be a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and a new generation of independent media in Canada. Find us online at issuesmagshop.com or @issuesmagshop. About Our Collage Workshops: When Issues Magazine Shop first opened, we realized we'd be making a significant amount of paper waste each month. Some of our distributors require us to remove out-of-date magazines from our shelves, rip the cover off, and destroy the remains. We figure making art with them is destroying them. Since 2023, we've been hosting regular, in-store workshops with Alanna Chelmick. These are intimate, grounding and a true joy to experience. We put on larger events we're calling Collage Parties. These are made for a night out: There's an artist talk, art making, snacks, drinks and good vibes. We also love hosting collage workshops for private or corporate groups! For more details on booking those email hello@issuesmagshop.com. Information Source: Issues Magazine Shop | eventbrite
