Pretty Secrets — PS: I<3U

Mararamiro Home - 2090 Dundas Street West

Pretty Secrets is a cheeky invitation to peek into the minds and desires of a dozen emerging artists and designers. This group is composed of makers from Canada, the United States and China. Each designer pulls inspiration from personal cultural diasporic craft techniques with a grounded relationship to the materials they choose to work with, holding a belief that the future of design is in the hands of those who can work by peering backwards while still envisioning the future. Pretty Secrets is a collection of contemporary beautifully crafted objects. Enter their world of beauty and unveil the pretty secrets behind each work.

An opening reception will be held on January 19 from 3-6pm and the show will be on view from January 19-27.
