Join us for a playful, surprising, and very kid-friendly evening of short films by conceptual artists. These aren’t ordinary movies: they’re funny, strange, inventive, and full of unexpected moments—the kind of videos that make you ask, “Wait … what just happened?” in the best possible way. We’ll be showing fan-favourite Bas Jan Ader, along with Vito Acconci, Pipilotti Rist, John Smith, Bruce Nauman, William Wegman, Christian Marclay, Kota Ezawa, and more. Don’t know what conceptual art is? No problem! Hot Pizza co-founder—and accomplished editor, curator, and writer—Brian Sholis will guide us through this amazing adventure. Snacks provided, but feel free to bring your own, too! At our 1152 College Street location. Fee is per-person! All proceeds support the Hot Pizza Bursary Fund.

In this class, we will learn to knit very scary monsters using yarn, appliqués, and icords! Knit Master Sandra Moretti teaches knitting like no other: in an accessible, all-levels way; we’ll learn and practice casting-on and off, as well as how to knit in the round. Bring your own knitting needles and yarn* (so that you can take them with you after class to keep working!), we provide the appliqués and icords. Please note, class price is per person. At 1152 College Street location.

*If you’re new to knitting: the best needles for beginners are straight, bamboo needles in sizes 5 mm–7mm—or if you already have yarn, check the label and it will indicate the right size needles to use. For yarn, a bulky-weight wool blend is best, but a medium worsted weight will work, too. These are available at any craft or knitting store. At 1152 College Street location. Please note, class price is per person.

This is you time + family time + no cooking/clean-up all rolled into one. Please note, class price is per person. At 1152 College Street location.

Along the way, participants will build the skills (and confidence) to keep exploring printmaking long after class ends. Taught by the wonderful Paul Dotey! Class fee includes 1 adult + 1 child.
