We are a church community that values and promotes meditation through art. This program is FREE and open to all. We gather every Wednesday at 10AM to read a short text or poem, listen to a guided meditation related to the theme, and share our own responses. Then we spend time drawing and painting together in light of these reflections. All are welcome—no prior experience with art is necessary! We provide all the materials (you're welcome to bring your own if you prefer!). .

It's a great opportunity to meet new people, exchange painting tips and tricks, all while working through your backlog of models. This isn't just limited to miniatures either. Bring a canvas, some blank sneakers, or just some cash (and buy a mini at the store). Test out different paint brands from Acrylicos Vallejo, AK Interactive, The Army Painter, and Citadel Paints.

🎨🚶 **GRAFFITI ALLEY WALK – ART, RULES & THE STORIES ON THE WALLS** 🚶🎨 Street Art, Big Questions & A Different Way of Seeing the City Some people walk past graffiti and don’t think twice. Others stop and wonder… what am I actually looking at? Join us for a 45-minute walk through Graffiti Alley — one of the most vibrant, controversial, and constantly evolving art spaces in the city. This walk explores where graffiti and traditional art collide — and the bigger questions that come with it. Who gets to decide what counts as art? Who controls public space? And why does some work end up in galleries… while other work gets painted over overnight? We’ll look at the artists, the culture, and the unspoken rules that shape what you see on the walls — from layering and tagging to respect, territory, and style. This is not a formal lecture. It’s a walking conversation — part storytelling, part observation, and part seeing the city in a completely different way. 👉 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) *** 🧠 What We’ll Explore As we walk, we’ll touch on questions like: * Is graffiti vandalism… or art? * Who decides what counts as “real” art? * Where does art belong — galleries or the street? * Who decides what gets shown in galleries? * Who funds art — and how does that shape what we see? * How does graffiti challenge cultural norms? * Who defines history — and what gets left out? There are no right answers here — just better questions. *** 🚶‍♂️ What We’ll Do We’ll walk through key sections of Graffiti Alley between Portland and Spadina, stopping at different walls and installations to talk about what’s there — and what used to be there. This is a space that’s always changing, so every walk is a little different. We’ll take time to: ✔️ Look closely ✔️ Talk about what we’re seeing ✔️ Take photos ✔️ Ask questions We’ll end near Queen & Spadina, with the option to grab food together afterward. *** 🌆 What Is a Jane’s Walk? This walk is part of Jane's Walk — a global festival of free, community-led walking conversations inspired by Jane Jacobs. Jane’s Walks are about exploring neighbourhoods through stories, sharing perspectives, and connecting with others through conversation. They take place in hundreds of cities around the world and are volunteer-run and community-driven. *** 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 Meetup Location: Outside Loblaws (585 Queen St W – Queen & Portland) 🫎 I’ll be wearing my Moose Hat ⏰ Meetup Time: 12:30 PM I will only wait 5 minutes. Early is on time. On time is late. 👉 Please come say “hi” when you arrive so I can introduce you to the group. End Point: Queen & Spadina *** 🎟️ Meetup Fee: FREE (Jane’s Walk event) *** 🎒 What to Bring Comfortable walking shoes Water Curiosity 👀 *** 🌈 Who Is This For? This is for anyone who: ✔️ Is curious about the city ✔️ Wants to see something familiar differently ✔️ Enjoys conversation and new perspectives No art background needed. *** REMEMBER: You’re welcome to just show up if you’re unsure about your schedule. And as always, sometimes plans shift and events may need to be canceled — please keep an eye on updates. *** 👤 Organizer: Mathew Questions? Post on the event wall or email 📧 torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com Come for the art. Stay for the questions. Leave seeing walls you’ve passed a hundred times… in a completely new way. 🎨✨
