| Sunday, May 15, 2022 | | | Sunday, May 15, 2022 | | Hi, art lovers! | | In just a few hours, folks will be heading down to Toronto’s Budweiser Stage for the Juno Awards, and the show will be broadcast live on CBC tonight. Hosted by Simu Liu, who popped up on CBC’s Q last week, the event will feature appearances from Arcade Fire, Avril Lavigne, Andrew Phung (and a bunch of other notables whose names don’t start with the letter A). And if you’re still acquainting yourself with this year’s nominees, queue up this playlist from CBC Music before plunging into their extensive coverage of all things Cancon. Will you be watching? Here’s how to stream it all … plus the pre-show and a whole lot of bonus Juno content you might have missed. | | | And because we promised you eye candy ... | | | Toko Hosoya | Shout out to the class of 2022! It’s the last day to visit OCAD University’s GradEx show, and as soon as I wrap this email, you bet I’ll be wandering over there. (Apparently it takes a global pandemic to make a person realize how much they enjoy wading through floor after floor of art-school output.) Illustration student Toko Hosoya is one of this year’s medal winners. | | | | | Emerald Repard-Denniston | Granola Gworl by Emerald Repard-Denniston. (Emerald’s another of this year’s medal recipients.) | | | | | Anqi Cheng | Over at Emily Carr University in Vancouver, their annual grad show is on to May 24. I stumbled on this illustration by Anqi Cheng while zipping through the virtual version of the exhibition. | | | | | Dad Can Dance | | | In Dad Can Dance, filmmaker Jamie Ross tells the story of their father’s hidden past. The film won a Hot Docs Audience Award earlier this month. | | | | | Art Gallery of Ontario | | | Amanda Parris speaks with collector Kenneth Montague and AGO curator Julie Crooks about the ethics of cultural ownership. | | | | | Norman Wong | | | | He’s photographed everyone from Drake to Broken Social Scene, and his work as a music video director has earned him a nod at this year’s Juno Awards. | | | | @joturnerillustration/Instagram | May’s logo design is a salute to the artist’s favourite moth (and probably her favourite month too). Read a Q&A with the illustrator, Winnipeg’s Joanna Turner. | | | | Share this newsletter | | or subscribe if this was forwarded to you. | | | | | Got questions? Typo catches?
