ART: As part of the continuing Manifesto Festival of Music and Art, there will be an opening party tonight at the Well and Good Art Space for “Us & Them,” a four-section art expo that will run until September 30. One section will showcase the work of artists who over the last ten years have been a part of Canada’s largest street art organization, them.ca (Dstrbo, Fauxreel, Omen, and Specter, to name just a few). As well, there will be a display by the Z’otz* Collective, known for their artistic exploration of the urban lifestyle. “Banknotes” is a showcase of youth artists producing art on, well, money. Each banknote will be up for auction, with all proceeds going to Amnesty International. The fourth section is “The Puzzle Project,” a collaborative effort of eighteen Toronto artists to create a single piece of artwork. Well and Good Art Space (639 Queen Street West on the third floor), 8 p.m., FREE.
