The Point Artist-Run Centre unleashed a jam-packed lineup of spring and summer arts events last week.
The long list kicks off with their annual spring fundraiser, this year called the Cinco de Mayo Lucha Libre on May 5. It will include Mariachi music, a Mexican tapas dinner, Lucha Libre improv wrestling, a silent and live auction, a piñata party and dancing to DJ Su Comandante.
Participants can also sign up for a piñata workshop earlier in the day to learn how to make the colourful party smashers.
Tickets to the fundraiser are $55 while the piñata making workshop is $40.
Other workshops set for spring include: Animal Adventures Into Clay, which will teach participants how to make animal sculptures on May 15, 22 and 29; Pot to Table Cookware, which will teach participants how to hand-sculpt pots on May 15, 22, and 29; an indigo dyeing and felt workshop, where participants can learn about Japanese shibori folding and indigo vat dyeing on June 22; and, finally, surface printing where you can learn how to make block prints on June 22.
