SUMMARY:Community Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Community Canvas is a relaxing\, low-pressure art night focused on creative flow and connection. \n\n\n\n3 large canvases for communal creation and a buffet of materials to explore\, including watercolor\, acrylics\, ink\, and more. \n\n\n\nA curated soundtrack will move our energy through the night\, from soft focus to upbeat dance vibes. \n\n\n\nThis experience is designed to be a creative spark and an exercise in releasing the ego: anything you paint may be transformed by someone else.

SUMMARY:Loser's Club
DESCRIPTION:A first-of-its-kind experience at Arlington Five \n\n\n\nWelcome to Losers Club where being a little chaotic\, a little cringe\, and a little unhinged is not just accepted… it’s celebrated. \n\n\n\nIn collaboration with Arlington Five\, this debut event flips the script on perfection and invites you into a night of camp\, comedy\, drag\, and deliciously messy performances. Think: iconic flops\, cult favourites\, guilty pleasures\, and the art of not taking yourself too seriously. \n\n\n\nHosted and produced by Edith Puthie\, Losers Club is a love letter to the underdogs\, the misfits\, and anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite fit the mould because honestly\, that’s where the magic happens. \n\n\n\nExpect bold performances\, unexpected moments\, and a room full of people ready to laugh\, cheer\, and maybe even embrace their inner “loser.” \n\n\n\nBecause for one night only… losing has never looked so good.

SUMMARY:Craftwerk
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the recent trending “knit-raves” (and @boo._.66‘s personal love of going out and knitting in places you’d least expect)\, we present Craftwerk! \n\n\n\nA new casual event where music lovers and crafters unite to parallel play. Whether you want to come and socialize with fellow craft lovers or just want to go mute and dance to some new music\, this event welcomes both. As the series continues\, more DJs/musicians will be invited to showcase experimental music\, so in a way\, everybody will be crafting something! Our intention is to create a safe space that is welcoming to all\, for people who want to be in community but find the typical environment of “going out” overwhelming because of socializing or sensory stimuli. For our first event\, we are keeping things nice and calm in tone with the post-holiday winter season. We will be playing some chill house and electronic music for you to sip your drink to and craft whatever your heart desires! \n\n\n\nWhat craft will you be bringing?? \n\n\n\nCraftwerk ft. DJs @boo._.66 and @jasnastyB.Y.O.C. (Bring your own craft projects\, tools\, and supplies – but some collage and art materials will be provided as well 🙂

SUMMARY:Known Mysteries | Play-through + Q&A
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a unique and interactive opportunity to do a partial playthrough and Q&A of Known Mysteries. The first Solar Server solar-powered indie game. This event will be hosted by Kara Stone (creator of Solar Server and Known Mysteries visiting all the way from Calgary) and PARTYGIRL (voice of Sorrow\, lead). \n\n\n\nTrailer available here! \n\n\n\nKnown Mysteries is a lo-fi climate fable about the desire to escape Earth. A deduction game set in a near-future Canada held captive by massive oil companies. The player guides Sorrow through the mysteries she uncovers upon her return to her hometown after the death of her mothers. \n\n\n\nSolar Server is an autonomous solar powered web server run from Kara Stone’s apartment balcony in Calgary\, Alberta\, Canada. It will host a series of videogames designed to be low-carbon and have environmental themes in the games. Read articles about Solar Server in The Guardian\, Tech Radar\, and CNET. \n\n\n\nKara Stone is an artist and scholar making work about psychosocial disability\, sexuality\, and the environment. She works in different media but most often in interactive art and experimental videogames. Her artwork has been featured in The Atlantic\, Wired\, and VICE\, and exhibited at Athens Digital Art Festival in Greece\, Vector Game Art Festival in Toronto\, Canada and a solo exhibition at Babycastles in New York City\, USA. She is a member of the Different Games Collective\, a horizontal organization dedicated to expanding the culture and industry of games. \n\n\n\nEvent Agenda:\n\n\n\n6:45pm arrive \n\n\n\n7:00 pm live playthrough* \n\n\n\n8:00pm Q&A \n\n\n\n8:45pm short 15min musical performance by PARTYGIRL \n\n\n\n9pm-9:30pm mingle and wrap-up \n\n\n\n* The game is currently free to play online (climate permitting) and while we will do our best to avoid spoliers we encourage you to play it ahead of the event. There are multiple endings to the game so each combination of choices throughout the playthrough has an impact on what ending you trigger. \n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE:\n\n\n\nThis is a PWYC event. Please select the most accessible tier for you! We will be accepting cash donations at the event as well. If you are unable to make a financial contribution we encourage you select the “cash/free” tier and simply attend as a guest\, inquire about an exchange\, or take photos/write a little review. All money will go to venue + project. \n\n\n\nStreet parking only!
