The Artistorian’s Weekly Picks August 25 to 31
This week, find your inner artist at NDG Arts Week, party with Darling Foundry and check out the amazing works of Shane Perley-Dutcher and Milutin Gubash. As always, there is never a dull moment in this city. So, quick, before we enter hibernation mode (the sun is already setting earlier, yikes), take a peek at some of these events.
