**🎨 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 👉 **Follow us on Eventbrite to stay updated on upcoming events, exhibitions, and special offers: https://www.eventbrite.ca/o/raid-gallery-cafe-120092094051**

Bring plenty of cards!
