Tinker

Tinker is happening at Bampot House of Tea from 6:30pm-10:30pm every first and third Thursday of the month.

Bring your own projects or play with what's provided. Tickets are PWYC / $10 Recommended.

Tinker is an art event aiming to deprioritize the finality of 'the show' and 'the deadline' and even 'the client', focusing on multi-disciplinary artistic experimentation, process, and curiosity. This space will be filled with people who are passionate in their fields, curious about yours, and wanting a stronger sense of artistic community in Toronto.

This event, starting at 6:30pm, invites folks in to come and get a cup of tea, a tea-cocktail or cozy snacks. We will chat, introduce ourselves and what we're tinkering with - and then break into an open studio work session. Then, after a set time period, the group comes together and discusses, shares, and connects. Opportunities to formally show work to the whole group is also available, if you are interested in seeking feedback on your work.

You can request materials and mic-time in advance, but you can also sign up for our mic in the moment!

This multi-disciplinary space hosts writers, visual artists, musicians, dancers, poets, crafters, art directors, photographers, knitters, actors, and more - all working to develop their own passions while offering feedback and curiosity to others doing the same. This city is full of talented, passionate folks and I want to see what happens when we bring them together.

Tickets are PWYC/$10 recommended and can be paid via e-transfer to [email protected], or cash at the door.
