GEORGE BAIRD BOOK LAUNCH

Inform is hosting a discussion with George Baird in their 50 Water Street showroom on Wednesday, September 30th at 5:30pm on the occasion of the release of his new book Writings on Architecture and the City.

Writings on Architecture and the City is an anthology focusing on his on-going interest in planning and the built environment, something which is particularly manifest in his attention to the city of Toronto, where he is active in architecture, urban design and heritage preservation. The discussion will be moderated by local critic, curator, historian of architecture/urbanism, and consulting urban designer, Trevor Boddy. Q&A period and book signing will follow.

RSVP to info@informinteriors.com. Space is limited.

MEDITATION CLASS WITH CHRISTIE BAUMGARTER

This class will be admission by donation for the Strathcona Elementary School. If you’d like to attend, be sure to RSVP to info@nicolebridger.com and bring your own yoga mat.

If you want to take a swing at making the crowd laugh, sign ups start at 9pm, and the show curtain opens at 10pm.

LIVE SESSIONS AT M.I.A

Florida producer Marcel Everett aka XXYYXX is coming to M.I.A. on Thursday October 1st.

On Saturday October 3rd, DJ/producer, Sian will spin live at M.I.A. Sian is regularly appearing at the world’s most respected clubs and festivals in Europe, Asia, Australia and beyond.
