We are pleased to welcome you to the grand opening Gala of our new Community Arts Center at Queen and Spadina!
Moving from our last 750sqft location on Dufferin, this is a sprawling 2000 square feet of co-working space, workshop and classroom, gallery and event space!
We invite you to attend in formal attire (or whatever that idea inspires in you), dance to the amazing musical lineup for the night, purchase some art from six featured visual artists, and help SubLunar raise some some backup funds to ensure our new space remains open, even during difficult times!
The first part of the evening will have a cocktail-party vibe, with snacks, downtempo music, conversation, and a (very) short presentation about our community center, and what we are trying to accomplish.
The later part of the night will consist of a bumpin' dance floor, featuring jungle and drum and bass sets by Remedy and Spazzmonk!

Come in through the front door, upstairs to the second floor of the building, and down the hall until you see our unit.
🌙FUNDRAISING🌙
Part of the goal of this Gala will be to fundraise for SubLunar's reserve funds. Space in Toronto is expensive, and getting new programming off the ground costs money, and as a registered not for profit, SubLunar tends to operate using all of our revenue.
The more money we have in reserve, the better we are able to handle slower months without scaling back our programming, and the easier it is for us to offer new programming as a community center.
🥂FEATURED VISUAL ARTISTS🥂
Six visual artists from our community will have their work on display for you to purchase. A portion of each purchase will go toward SubLunar.
Mediums will include painting and photography. The art will include originals, prints, and postcards at various rates from $30ish, to a few hundred.

🌙SUPPORTING MEMBERSHIP🌙
Along with our co-working membership, which is $150 / month for everyday use of the space to work on art projects, we will also offer a new $20/month supporting membership, which is a way for community members who can afford it, to support our work.
Each supporting membership comes with a SubLunar pendant, a free drink ticket at all our events, and free access to SubLunar programming that would normally be $5 admission (movie nights, workshops, etc).
Memberships are available here:

🌙 CONSENT CULTURE 🌙
Our community celebrates the importance of consent culture. We expect that interactions between participants (and this includes more than just sexual advances) are to be based on communication, checking for consent, and respect. If you’re unsure about an interaction or unsure if you have consent, please remember to ask first.
Remember, only an ongoing, positive, enthusiastic response means Yes!
Please bring any concerns you may have to our organizers and clearly marked vibe-patrol volunteers, or e-mail
