The #TinyDadaArtShow, which has been popping up around the world, is making its #Canadian #debut in an #EastVancouver garage on Saturday, Aug. 24.
Created and curated by #Vancouver #artist Allison Beda, the show features more than 40 pieces of art from 30 artists, and all of it fits in a moderately sized backpack.
While Beda is based in Vancouver and the event features local artists like Mark Mizgala, Jean Paul Langlois, and Lynn Budny, the Tiny Dada Art Show has never been shown here.
Over the past year, after its secret debut, it has travelled in Beda's luggage to Florence, Italy; New York City; and Eina, Norway, among other places across the United States and Europe.
Now Beda is turning her own house's garage into the Fake Gallery, which will host the show in the #CommercialDrive neighbourhood.
It opens Aug. 24 and runs to Sept. 11. Later in September, the little travelling #ArtShow heads to Dallas.
"We'll have a little reception in the driveway and then the show will be in the garage," says Beda, noting some artists will be calling in to do little chats.
