Toronto has FINALLY been privy to a decent downpour of snow, and that means Leigh Nunan’s Tiny Snowmans is on! Leigh’s project was thisclose to being lost to the absence of winter, so come to Trinity Bellwoods Park to make the bit of snow we’ve gotten a little more enjoyable. Here are all the details:

Production of the tinygrants catalogue is underway! The above image is a detail from the cover (for now, anyway). The book will be 7″ x 7″, 64-pages, and mostly colour, and will include a curatorial essay, interviews with the artists, and details about the project logistics (such as how submissions were solicited and how the projects were selected). Don’t forget — you can get a copy of this catalogue as a thanks for donating $100 or more to the project.
It’s pretty exciting to start putting all of this together, even though it’s also an enormous challenge. How do I start thinking about tinygrants as a project that begins and ends? Last semester I was abuzz with a lot of administrative tasks for tinygrants. This semester, I have to shift gears to think about the social and political implications of a microfunding program for the arts. It’s not that these things weren’t on my mind throughout the submissions and selection processes, but now I have to commit to something!
If you have any ideas for what else should be included in the catalogue, please do let me know! I will be posting updates about how the book is coming together, including a working table of contents once that is a little closer to being set in stone.
