A new format for the seasonal gift-giving
The Toronto's Art Brownie Shop exhibition arrives in November, showcasing an array of works and ideas by Toronto artists, all work on this smart, cool format.

ART BROWNIE is available each from $30 to $100 or above. All unique items. From painting, print-making and photo-based, mixed-media to sculptural. The Toronto's Art Brownie Shop exhibition starts on 19th November, a bit earlier giving you ample time to plan your gifting strategy. Exhibits are on buy-and-go base, but the trays will be refilled with fresh new bites frequently.

Arts in China: State of the Arts

Here is an interesting video for aspiring artists interested in the Fine Arts industry. Its also a great inspiration to any artist about believing in what you do. This is a documentary video about the struggles of a group of artists in china where an art market didn't exist when they started to create art. Through their struggles, they eventually become successful fine artists, selling paintings for extremely high prices in the international fine art scene. They did what they love even in a society with a lack of appreciation for arts and education at a time.
