Everyday by Cristy Q.
**🎨 Everyday — The Art of Cristy Q**
Join us at **RAID Studio** on **March 26th from 7:00 PM to 12:00 AM** for ***Everyday***, an exhibition by Toronto-based illustrator **Cristy Q**.
### 🖼️ About the Exhibit
Using bright palettes and clean shapes, Cristy captures ordinary moments with a mix of playfulness and honesty. Her illustrations celebrate the charm of the ordinary and the beauty in things often overlooked — a reminder that simplicity can be full of character, and that the everyday can be surprisingly funny.
### 👩🎨 About the Artist
Cristy Q is a Toronto-based illustrator who finds humour in the everyday. Her work transforms simple subjects — people, food, hands, and the small objects that fill daily life — into bold, colourful scenes that feel both familiar and a little absurd.
Join us for an evening of **art, conversation, and community**.
🍷 **Refreshments**
🍴 **Food**
🎶 **Music**
Come by, meet the artist, and celebrate the opening with us! ✨
Our event is proudly sponsored by **BareBones Bartending** 🍸✨
Huge thanks to them for helping bring this night to life
