A dismal Friday evening in March. It's 6:00pm, it's pouring rain and I am reluctantly heading down to the Exhibition grounds. What I really want to do after a long week of non-stop work and renovation insanity is to go home and read a book in the bath until bedtime. But this will be my only free time this weekend and I was given tickets to The Artist Project from David Brown after we chatted a few weeks back. I had to go and say hello... at least.

The Artist Project is an annual art show in the Queen Elizabeth Building, Exhibition Place. Am I ever glad I went. Isle after isle of inspiring, diverse and innovative works of art. The best way to describe it is to show it.

I handed out many business cards so I hope to be able to write more on these and many other talented artists I met on Friday night. Thanks to you all for lifting my spirits on such a bleak Friday eve.
