Two-time Polaris Prize nominee Cadence Weapon headlines in Walker Court. Deemed "hip hop's saviour" by Dazed and Confused, Cadence Weapon is a sonic pioneer who is constantly pushing the limits of rap and electronic music. His most recent album, Hope in Dirt City, led the Toronto Star to dub him “a bona fide, trend-oblivious rap trailblazer.”
DJ Casey Mecija (of Ohbijou) keeps the beats going in Walker Court, while DJ Mama Knows spins mid-tempo jams in Galleria Italia.
One-of-a-kind encounters with artist-created miniatures and multiples will fill the galleries, including the Northern Beaver Gallery, making a special appearance and offering unique artworks by Canadian artists for sale from a vintage vending machine.
Go behind-the-scenes with pop-up talks on the strange and wonderful objects inside the Thomson Collection of European Art (like snuff bottles and boxwood carvings) and the incredible Thomson Collection of Ship Models. And don’t miss our monthly Out of the Vaults exhibition, only on view at First Thursdays. This month's show will focus on the tiniest works on paper on our collection — and magnifying glasses will be on hand.
Plus, delicious food, tasty drinks, more tiny surprises and big performances to be announced in the coming weeks. Buy your tickets now!
