Lakeside Opening Pictures

Opening night for Lakeside: Art Looks At Toronto Beaches

was a huge success. Hundreds of people braved the hot weather and flooded the 1313 Gallery for an evening of discussion and socializing to mark the opening of this groundbreaking show. Open until July 24th, the exhibit was launched in style by community members, TEA campaigners, politicians and artists. Here are a few pictures from the event.
