Hi hi.

If you'd like to find out about them please sign up for our mailing list, which is just to your right.

If you're interested...

We rent out our 2000 sq. ft. space for $200 for the night (or $100 for members). We can also take care of picking up any supplies for your event, including liquor license and alcohol, we organize catering, bartend the event, setup and teardown the space, dj, project images or videos,..., basically pretty much everything you need to have a great show.

We'd love to hear ideas for your events and try our best to make things happen for you at AKIN.

Please contact us with any inquiries.
Thanks.

Photo Studio Info

Hi there,

We finally took some photos of our photography studio (woah that's so meta...) but it's hard as all hell to take photos of a small room. Here goes though...
p.s. There's more info at the bottom of this post.

This is one of the members of Slow Club from the UK being shot by Pete Ohs from the US

Basically, to describe it, the space is 15'x15' with 14' ceilings. It is separated from our art studio by a massive curtain, which can be opened to allow photographers to shoot with longer lenses. We also have a loading dock into the studio which makes it easy to transport equipment in and out.

Our rates are:
$15/hr
$50/4hrs
$100/10hrs
Monthly memberships are $100/mth and then 50% of the rate for each use.


Please let us know if you'd like to book our studio, even on short notice.
Thanks

p.s. Here's the music video Slow Club were working on in the photos above. Click me.

Let's Make Art

Hi there,

Thanks for checking in with us. Here are some photos of the last event that took place at Akin. It was hosted by our friend Wynne Leung (http://wynneleungart.com) and was a great success. Basically it was a group of people coming together to collaborate and put their ideas together in the form of large muralish paintings and drawings. Check out the pix below and please contact Wynne if you're interested in participating.

Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition

Hi there,
Just wanted to post up some pix from the show. I went today and it really was an overwhelming experience with so much incredible art everywhere. I loved it. Here we go:

Julia selling her sixth piece of the day. This was just before she found out that she won best sculptor for the second year in a row. Congratulations yo.


Talia Shipman Vanna White-ing her pieces for us.


Too cool







Cameron Tomsett hard at work on concert posters while showing his paintings. Atta boy.

David Alexander holding down his booth. I'm loving the resined pieces.

A pic I took through a glass bowl that was on display.

If you'd like to see more work by these artists please go to their personal websites on the right side of the screen. Congrats again to the four of you.
