Arts & Crafts\u00a0today announced a new photography exhibit in collaboration with Toronto-based celebrity and fashion photographer\u00a0Norman Wong, chronicling Arts & Crafts label artists over the past 10 years. The original black-and-white portrait series features iconic favourite and never-before-seen shots of artists such as Kevin Drew, Leslie Feist, Dan Mangan and numerous other Arts & Crafts artists, as well as a special archival collection of personal, candid shots taken by Wong during Arts & Crafts tours, concerts and photography sessions.<\/p>\n

The exhibit will be located\u00a0at 1093 Queen St. W. (Unit 2) from Thursday, May 23 and run until\u00a0Saturday, June 15. It\u00a0will also show at\u00a0Field Trip Music & Arts Festival\u00a0and the\u00a0Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cNorm really is the best. He\u2019s so giving with his talent. It\u2019s an honour\u00a0to be showcasing our artists through his lens,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Jeffrey Remedios, co-founder and president of Arts & Crafts. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to share some of the intimate, candid moments that he\u2019s captured over the past decade.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Queen Street staple, Analogue Gallery, will be producing and managing the exhibit. A limited number of prints will be available for purchase both at the show and online with a portion of the proceeds being donated to\u00a0Testicular Cancer Canada<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0MusiCounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The exhibit venue will simultaneously serve as a pop-up headquarters for everything\u00a0#AC10 related, including Field Trip festival tickets, special festival and Arts & Crafts merchandise, the complete Arts & Crafts catalogue, and will serve as host to special events during the\u00a0NXNE\u00a0Festival (Monday, June 10 through June 16).<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m looking forward to presenting my body of work with a group of people that helped me find my passion for photography. Broken Social Scene and Arts & Crafts are very dear to me; they are family. They gave me a reason to begin and to keep going,”\u00a0<\/em>said Wong. “This collection of photographs is a celebration of a group of people I truly love and admire.\u00a0No one outside my circle of friends has seen these photographs, and it gives me great excitement to share it with the city I love, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Arts & Crafts.”<\/em><\/p>\n
