Thanks to all who attended and made the Cut to the Drummer opening night such a huge success! 60% of the art sold in the first two hours. There is still a lot of terrific art available for sale, and some of the artists have agreed to produce limited edition prints of their work. Check out the Show Gallery for details.
Cut to the Drummer is an Art show and Drumming Event in support of F.U.M.S. for the MS Society of Canada Scholarship Program. It is the fourth public art show mounted byThe Bepo + Mimi Project, a Toronto-based organization that promotes the value of illustration as an art form. It is supported by Joint Design Advocacy, a Canadian group that facilitates and supports great design thinking in Canada
Cut To The Drummer would not be possible without the generosity and support of Warner Music Canada, Steam Whistle Brewing, RixMedia and all our other sponsors.
Thanks Q107 for a whole weekend of promotion!
We lost count of the mentions, but after the “Skin Beaters” tribute from Friday to Sunday there can not be anyone in Toronto’s classic rock community who hasn’t heard about Cut to the Drummer.
Wow!
We’re getting serious mentions on Q107 and The Edge 102.
Also, all this week check out what they’re saying about us at the Toronto Sun, Metro News, The Toronto Star, the Globe & Mail and the National Post! The interviews are done, the articles are coming and hitting the stands. Check back for more links.
To MySpace, for being so cool!
Thanks go out to Entripy Custom Clothing for generously supplying the event T’s!
If you’re coming to the Gala, and thinking about investing in some awesome original art, you can get a preview (here) at the Bepo + Mimi web site.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at the show!
