Over 40 Toronto tattoo artists will showcase their original works, including paintings, prints, and tattoos, at the Intermission Art Show, with proceeds benefiting the Sick Kids Foundation. The event will take place at the Welcome Market Space from January 17th to 25th, offering a unique opportunity to explore the artistic talents of local tattoo artists and support a worthy cause.
Dozens of Toronto's most talented tattoo artists are uniting for a groundbreaking event this week, all for an extraordinary cause. Over 40 Toronto tattoo artists will converge at the upcoming Intermission Art Show , commencing this Friday. The exhibition will transform the Welcome Market Space (located on the second floor of Okey Doke) into a vibrant hub of creativity for an entire week, showcasing original works from a remarkable selection of local tattoo artists.
From captivating paintings and prints to, yes, even tattoos, visitors will encounter a diverse array of artistic expressions. A significant portion of the proceeds from each sale, 30 percent to be exact, will be generously donated to the Sick Kids Foundation.For Andrei, a resident artist at Delete after Death and a participant in the show, this event presents an invaluable opportunity to collaborate with fellow artists on non-tattoo art pieces. 'I wanted to participate in this art show with my friend Sewp,' he shares with blogTO, 'we've been discussing collaborating on an art piece — something beyond tattooing — and create something that truly ignited our imaginations in ways tattooing couldn't.' The result of their collaborative efforts is a large-scale original artwork titled 'Hot for Teacher by Van Halen' ('because that song rules,' Sewp explains in an Instagram caption), which, alongside dozens of other creations from their contemporaries, will be on display during the exhibition.Beyond the exciting prospects for creative exploration, Andrei also emphasizes the importance of supporting a cause close to his heart. 'I come from a less fortunate country, and during my childhood, I witnessed firsthand how children are, more often than we care to admit, overlooked,' he confides in blogTO. 'It's a small gesture, but it means something.' The Intermission Art Show kicks off with a special opening night on Friday, January 17th, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. However, if you miss the opening, there's no need to despair. The exhibition will continue to run daily from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. between January 18th and 25th, providing ample opportunities to immerse yourself in these extraordinary works and contribute to the Sick Kids Foundation.
