We're
back in the store now after the One of a Kind Show and so far
have been very busy and the red button has been getting a heavy
workout! The store has been rearranged a bit and more stock
is out both new and old. Some very new additions are some lovely
needle felted finger puppets by Jenny Kuri of Jenny
Kuri Fine Art Dolls and Puppets. Along with new work
by the usual suspects, Kelly Kirkham, Alexander Mergold, Diabolo
Puppets, Richard Hanna and our own designs we also have a great
selection of vintage puppets from around the world. Come see
the window, push the button and take a puppet home! |

RED WAGON COLLECTIVE: DONATIONS
NEEDED:
fabric, wool, embroidery floss, needles, crochet hooks, old
sweaters
RED WAGON COLLECTIVE was formed in 2006 in response to our desire
to deepen our artistic, collaborative, and community-engaged
practices through residency projects that would enable us to
develop both intensive and extensive relationships in the Junction
- a rapidly changing neighbourhood in Toronto's west end. We
share a desire to work collaboratively with artists and non-artists
to create work that inspires new conversations; softens boundaries
between groups separated by age, culture, ability, and economic
status; promotes the presence of art in everyday life and contributes
to increasing public engagement in community development. The
work we create with communities is used in producing exhibitions,
public installations, and celebratory performance events.We
are currently working within the walls of the Evangeline Shelter.
