One from the summer, since its a very grey week I decided to dig an event I haven’t posted yet. PSAC and CEIU organized an Asian Heritage Month event at Scarborough City Hall’s Albert Campbell Square. Featuring food, music and fun presentations, it was a summer’s day of sharing culture and enjoying the great weather with fellow CEIU brothers and sisters.
I miss the summer.

VA-Photography provided event coverage and Norris Films handled cinematography for their Grand Opening Launch party. Video can be viewed here: http://www.vimeo.com/16146876
The launch party was enjoyed by friends, family and fans from the Paintlounge Facebook page and they all had a blast sampling menu items and contributed to the collaborative art project. Each guest was given a square space to add their “painting” to be part of a bigger painting that will decorate the store! Its part of Paintlounge’s concept of “Social Painting” where art is the focus of the social experience.
