TKS would like to congratulate all artists that participated in SneakPeek. Comments like “TKS has the highest calibre of artists in any of the major drawing groups around town” make us all warm & fuzzy inside. We look forward to the next exhibition.
For those that couldn’t make the show, here’s a chance to see how your pieces looked on our walls…

Wow. Saturday night’s Opening Reception for SneakPeek was epic.
I’d like to extend an enormous thanks to all that ventured to The Gladstone. Cocktails, treats, dirty art and amazing people made for one fantastic opening party. A packed house the whole night, we were certainly the place to be. We met a tonne of interesting people, and should expect a slew of new faces for Season II. Congratulations to all artists, and to those with sold pieces! The Show’s success means it will be an annual event.
SneakPeek was the perfect climax to a year’s worth of debaucherous drawing, slick rope-rigging, and great times with new friends. This Madame is enormously proud of all her performers and artists, and I do believe The Keyhole Sessions has made its mark on the Toronto Arts Scene. We look forward to Season II, and can’t wait to see you all again.
Stay tuned to this site for interesting tidbits throughout the summer. And send us word of what you’re doing to fill the Tuesday night void.
Peruse the gallery below of shots from the night, and please send us any to add.
See you all soon.

Yay! SneakPeek is now officially open at The Gladstone Hotel ArtBar.
Yesterday was spent at The Gladstone, with some amazing TKS artist peeps, namely Danielle Cole, Ben Stirling and Jamie Ibbett. We spent the entire day hanging 50 pieces for the Main Walls, with Mr. Ibbett hanging the entire Sketch Wall. So if you see these 3 peeps at the Gala on Saturday, give ‘em a big kiss.
We look forward to seeing you at the show, whether it’s for the Saturday night Gala {from 7 to 10pm}, or during the run from the 8th to the 13th. Some artists have kindly offered their time to sit in at the show to answer any questions you may have. So drop in, say “hi”, and enjoy some divinely dirty art.

…and extend your artist networks.
TKS and The Gladstone Hotel invite you to sit the show throughout the week of July 8th to the 13th. Get cozy on the ArtBar couches, enjoy café treats, surf {or work} with free wi-fi, and meet patrons! Sit an hour or two, or all day.
What better way to spend a sunny day, than in Queen West — especially if you’re self-employed — and need a change of scenery. The Madame will even come visit you, and maybe treat you to lunch. Now you have no excuse!
Give us a shout if you’re interested.
