COLLECTUIVES
Tuesday
An Arts Collective, founded by Lindsay Zier-Vogel and Rhya Tamasauskas,
with a focus on creative writing.
Monster Farms
Monster Farms is a Toronto based collective comprised of three distinctly diverse, yet entirely cohesive
and creative artists: Rhya Tamasauskas, Bliss Man and Adam Dunn. The Monster Farms collective
concentrates mainly on the design and production of soft sculpture monsters that originate from the crooks
and crannies of the artist's imaginations.
A Collection of Foreign Objects
The main goals of the Collection of Foreign Objects collective are to promote young Canadian and Japanese
artists to new audiences, to facilitate connections, communication, and collaboration between young artists,
and to challenge audiences to see new things, and to enter into the unexpected.
