TORONTO -- Former Moniker Gallery owner, Michelle Bylow, announced today the re-launch of the interactive multi-media art event, RAW: natural born artists Toronto SENSORY Event. SENSORY will feature 40 artists in music, visual arts, fashion, performing art, hair, makeup, accessory design and photography. Audience members will get to see the best of Toronto’s talents to include live hair and makeup, live painting, runway shows, live music and performance artists. Each event is interactive and engaging; and every artist has something very unique and special planned at the event. The audience will also have the opportunity to purchase works directly from the artists. “It is a continuation of what I was doing at Moniker Gallery, just on a much larger scale. It is nice to have the backing of an international arts organization to make these events come together…I am very excited to introduce something cutting edge into the Toronto Art Scene”, says Bylow, Showcase Director and Curator.
RAW: natural born artists is an independent arts organization, for artists, by artists. They are an international community made up of creative individuals from across the globe. RAW currently operates in nearly 60 cities across the United States, Australia, Canada and London, with their head office located in Los Angeles. The organization is a hit in Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver and Calgary. Their mission is to provide independent artists within the first 10 years of their career with the tools, resources and exposure needed to inspire and cultivate their creativity. All genres of art are welcome including independent film, fashion, music, visual art, performing art, hairstylists, makeup artists and more. They encourage the creative success of the many visionaries and storytellers of this generation.
Bylow is no stranger to the visual arts scene. She possess an extensive background in performance, music, graphic design, fashion design and event creation, which has influenced and fueled her love and passion for multi-media arts. She started to make a name for herself in the Toronto visual arts scene in 2013 when she opened up Moniker Gallery and Moniker Studios, a contemporary and progressive gallery and professional working studios for serious artists, respectively, located in the heart of downtown Toronto. The Moniker Gallery was a perfect fusion of her past and present interests allowing her to push the limits of the Toronto art scene. After closing Moniker Gallery and Moniker Studios in 2014, and revisiting her many artistic passions, she subsequently landed the position as Showcase Director for RAW Toronto, where she curates and organizes large scale multi-media art events showcasing Toronto's best artistic talent.
Bylow has spent several months hand selecting every artist that will be performing at the event. The fruits of her labor will all come together at the SENSORY showcase on Friday, May 22, 2015 at 8pm at the Mod Club Theatre located at 722 College St, Toronto, ON M6G 1C5, Canada.
