Lost & Found Market: A Project Space Fundraiser
Call for donations of gently loved used or vintage goods
Drop off Sundays in April (14, 21, 28) or by appointment 

After a good spring cleaning, what do you do with the things you almost can’t bear to get rid of?

Project Space is seeking your gently loved vintage or well-made clothing, housewares, dishes, furniture, books, artworks or houseplants, which Michael Lee and Sonja Farrell will curate and arrange into a month-long pop-up shop from May 10 to June 2, 2013. All proceeds from the sale will support Project Space’s upcoming redesign in Summer 2013 and any unused or leftover donations will be passed on to another community organization.

Drop-offs will be accepted on Sundays in April (14, 21, 28) or by emailing info@projectspace.ca to set up an appointment.

AD/JUST: Exhibition / Launch of Artists’ Books

Works by Jackie Riccio and Zack Ingram
Reception: Friday, April 5 at 8pm
Exhibition: April 4-7, 1pm to 5pm

AD/JUST is a three-day installation and pair of artists’ books by Baltimore artists Jackie Riccio and Zack Ingram. The project features site-specific works on paper that explore the artists’ opposing mechanisms of readjustment and assimilation after moving to a new environment. While Ingram’s works will focus on a recognition of absence and looking to the past, Riccio’s will act as an attempt to fill this void with something new in the present. Each will also produce a book that extends the project’s inquiry into our personal relationships with space and geographic location.
