SpinTO

If one awesome local sponsor wasn’t enough for today, we’re delighted to announce our first Silver sponsor, Amrita Chandra‘s wonderful tinku Gallery! tinku gallery was selected as one of Toronto’s Best New Art Galleries of 2008 by blogTO. tinku exhibits contemporary art from across Canada and the US in an environment that is welcoming to new and established collectors alike.

Amrita just celebrated tinku’s one year anniversary on Roncesvalles Ave. in Toronto and has been making a lot of buzz in Toronto with her showcase on emerging and mid-career artists from across Canada and the US. In addition to becoming a Silver sponsor, Amrita is also offering up a piece of art from her gallery by Toronto-based artist Iam Amell for auction at SpinTO on May 15!

This piece, “Aarenical” (2007) by Ian Armell is in a limited edition of 5, and comes 44″ x 34″ framed. The life of “drag queens” and others who cross dress has been outside the known world of most of society. Today that is changing. This work by Toronto-based artist Ian Amell is from the series Here There Be Dragons, which sets out to challenge the perception & fears of society’s unknowns.

Watch for Aarenical and many other high-value items available for silent auction at SpinTO on May 15. Early bird tickets for SpinTO’s kick-off party are almost sold out! Get yours while they’re still cheap!
