Some Shots from the Homeless and Healthy talk that took place Nov 19th, 2019. I'm happy to say the PTM "Homeless and Healthy?" panel discussion went well, and served to highlight that not only do homeless people deserve to be seen and listened to, but that, coupled with poverty prevention, the data shows a great deal of the pain of the homeless crisis can be abated with medical and mental health interventions.
.
Added Backstory: Our student group in cooperation with the Pass The Mic group at UofT, went out to do live portraits of homeless individuals around Toronto during the summer. Thanks to @starbucks 's donation to the project, we were able to provide each of the individuals with giftcards, and thanks to the efforts of our group members, and the consent of our interviewees, whilst the PTM members performed a medical questionnaire, we were able to create life drawing & paintings that would become art to be sold to help the homeless.
.
I am also glad to report our group donated 50% of the proceeds to the Scott Mission.
.
If you'd like to see the work, and support our efforts to help the homeless, we will be announcing future events, so follow us here or join our Facebook group (link in bio)

You can also dm us to buy the work, and help someone right away

So grateful to everyone who came out to see my ‘Children of a Midnight Spring’ exhibition at the @likelygeneral !

I’m honored to have had my first solo show with Likely, joining their history of incredible local artists 💖

It was wonderful meeting so many people for the first time and saying hello to old friends I haven’t seen in years.

Thanks to everyone who wrote such sweet messages in the guestbook; it was like a little surprise every time I visited the space!

We’re almost at the end of 2021, and I feel like this year has been so full of highs and lows that I’m glad I could have ended it with this special exhibition. Now I’m excited for more collaborations planned for the new year 🥳

Special thanks to Brooke, @anthonyrpace , and @armando.di.gregorio for donating so many hours helping me put the show together 🙌

Swipe for a fun find from the de-stall process

Last day to view ‘Children of a Midnight Spring’, an exhibit of oil paintings by @oliviadigregorio.

It has been such a pleasure and such an honour to host Olivia’s first solo show. We’ll still be offering prints of her work if you’re interested, available in our print books at our brick and mortar, or online at likelygeneral .

Thank you to all that visited this show, and thank you for your trust, Olivia.

Two works in progress on the easels, as I was working on the smaller for @everydayorig

It’s always been hard for me to focus on working on two pieces at once. I haven’t had to do it often before, but lately there are so many projects planned that it’s difficult to be exclusive to a piece. I do love seeing works grow up together like siblings though, and taking time to enjoy them in progress

I’m always interested in how people organize their workflow, so what do you do to be the most time efficient?
