Learn to Crochet (intro)

Hello Everyone and welcome to my group. The first event is for those who wish to learn to crochet. If you don't know what it is, well it's working with yarn like knitting but instead of two needles you use a hook. It's a fabulous and therapeutic activity that will enrich your life.And it's one of the possibly healthier addictions. Yarn and Hook provided.

Grow Your Art Career • Conversation with KEVPOP

You know how to make things. Maybe you've always known. Maybe you figured it out over years of practice, failure, and starting over. Either way — the making part? You've got that. But there's another part. The part that happens after the work is finished. How it finds an audience. How it finds a home. How you keep going long enough to make the next thing and the thing after that. Nobody really teaches that part. I'm KEVPOP. I've taught community education courses and workshops at public and private universities. I've received thousands in grant funding. I've shown work around the country. I've spoken globally from the US to Indonesia. And the thing I kept hearing from artists everywhere, at every stage, in every room? *Nobody told me how any of this actually worked.* So let's talk about it. This is a free, candid conversation for working artists, emerging artists, and anyone who makes things and wonders what a sustainable creative life actually looks like — not in theory, but in practice, right now, in the real world. **We'll cover:** 🎨 How artists are building lasting careers right now — the paths, the models, and the ones most people overlook 📋 Grants, open calls, and residencies — where they live, how to find them, and why most artists never apply even when they qualify 👥 What artist communities actually offer — peer support, accountability, access, and whether the paid ones are worth it 🌍 Public art activations — how showing up in the world builds an audience over time 💬 Your questions — bring them. This is a conversation, not a lecture. I've been in those rooms and I'll tell you what I actually know. **This event is free and open to all 10,000+ members**. It's also the first glimpse of something larger we're building. More on that at the event. Come curious. Come with questions. Come ready to talk about the part nobody talks about. **Reserve your spot today.** *KEVPOP • 10,000+ artists, collectors, and art lovers across North America.*

After The Credits - The Odyssey

For our inaugural gathering, we'll be discussing Christopher Nolan's latest film, The Odyssey. The idea is simple: watch the film before the meetup, then join us for a relaxed evening of conversation, debate, and drinks. We'll chat about what we loved, what we didn't, our favourite scenes, performances, themes, and whatever else the film inspires. Whether you're a lifelong cinephile, an occasional moviegoer, or someone simply looking to meet new people in Toronto, you're very welcome. There are no presentations, no homework, and no pressure to have the "right" opinion. The best discussions usually come from people seeing the same film in completely different ways. Discussion topics might include: 🎬 Favourite moments and performances 🎬 Themes and interpretations 🎬 Christopher Nolan's direction 🎬 How it compares to his previous films 🎬 Your rating and overall thoughts Most attendees will be meeting for the first time, so solo attendees are especially welcome. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for a conversation about one of the year's most anticipated films. See you there.
