CAB
Opening Party
Saturday,
May 13, 5 to 8 pm
Loftus Lloyd Café and Courtyard
401 Richmond St. West
The Opening
Celebration of Toronto's first Community Arts Biennale was a vibrant
start to the festival. Mistress of Ceremonies, artist Carole Conde formally
welcomed the crowd of guests, and provided brief introductions to the
CAB staff, board, and some of our generous
supporters. Ontario Arts Council officer, Melanie Fernandes, Trillium
Foundation Program Manager, Andrew Lee, MP, Carolyn Bennett and City
Councillor, Olivia Chow were all on hand to lend their insights and
congratulations. While
slides, and a taste of the raw footage from Maria Teresa Larrain's community
arts documentary, flickered away in the A Space gallery, the 401 courtyard
was filled with the Latin sounds of Marcelo Puente and his band. The
guests and participants were so thrilled by CAB's kick-off, that the
opening was truly memorable.
