3 Important Virtual Season Updates: Kids On TV! DJ Cozmic Cat! Call For Proposals!
As we gear up for Virtual Season, the art & music festival we’ll be co-presenting on July 29th with Toronto Artist-Run Centre Whippersnapper, we’ll be posting updates & oh-so-necessary announcements in the midst of our regular Sheroic programming. (You can keep up with these updates via our “Virtual Season” tag.)
The monthly, limited-run art party series — which brings together on and offline works that playfully and performatively explore the iconography and fan culture surrounding the “League of Legendary Ladies” — will be co-headlined by U.S. Girls and Ulysses Castellanos.
Headliners include a 23rd Century Blues-inspired performance by Chicago/Toronto DIY ingenue U.S. Girls (the alluring “Eno of the 2250s” music/persona of Megan Remy, who recently released her third full length “U.S. Girls on Kraak” on Belgian label Kraak), Sprechgesang live PA by Toronto performance artist Ulysses Castellanos, a Hazelton Clinic Duet with Adventure Studies (a returning Sheroes music project by artist Derek Aubichon) & Sheroes salonnière reeraw, emcee extraordinaire Silk Degrees and resident DJ NoLoves.
Our popular “nail art bar” by Smack of the Hand (AKA Brittany Bennington) returns, with free Grande Dame-inspired manis.
• What is Sheroes?
Sheroes is committed to doing herstory right — reinterpreting and remixing the mythic woman-power that pervades digital and actual cultures, realizing new works from ephemeral and archival artifacts.
Our next inductee into the “League of Legendary Ladies” will be Dolly Parton on Thursday, April 22 at The Beaver. For further information regarding our upcoming events, click here.

The WAG - Widget Art Gallery, is pleased to shows a site-specific artwork of Jacopo Vecchio. About the artwork: “Always loved metaphysic, surrealism and non-existent spaces, in which everybody strangely, can enter. Not assure the crow that is flying out from the IPhone it’s the same that re-enter from the window…” Jacopo Vecchio https://www.facebook.com/Jaart.Studio
About the WAG:
The “WAG” is nano virtual gallery-room I developed for IPhone, IPod Touch and I Pad. Every month, directly on your mobile, The “WAG” hosts a solo digital art exhibition related to the dynamic site-specific contest.
