Craig Leonard unknowingly built aluminum boats for the US Navy in 2002 until breaking his ring finger while mishandling a hole saw. This event led to a Master of Visual Studies at the University of Toronto in 2003, a decade after his first degree in English from Queen's University. He lived in the Czech Republic for the second half of the nineties where he taught in a cement town and led bicycle tours from Prague to Vienna. Failing to open a bookstore in Berlin in 2000, he returned to Canada to pursue mechanical engineering, which he abandoned midway through homework in advanced calculus.

L'Oeil dans L'Front est une entité née de la volonté de deux artistes d'amener doucement l'art à habiter les vies et espaces quotidiens des individus de façon vivante et active. L'Oeil dans L'Front veut donner à chacun la possibilité de transformer sa vie et, par le fait même, celle des autres en questionnant artistiquement ce qui semble établi et inébranlable.

Growing out of the feminist art movement and founded in 1973, La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse is one of the oldest artist-run centers in Quebec. The center's mandate expands on a history of feminist art practices and engages a broader spectrum of underrepresented artists and their initiatives within established art institutions. The gallery aims to provide a platform for contemporary art informed by feminist and gender theory, as well as intercultural and transdisciplinary practices. This involves networking and developing professional exchanges at the local, national and international levels.

LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE is an artist-run centre with a mandate to promote experimentation and dissemination in the field of visual arts. More specifically, this mandate hinges around a reflection of installation and site-specific practices, within three avenues: dissemination, production and documentation.

Labspace Studio is a creative hub, a meeting place, a theatre, a gallery, and a dance floor located in the east end of Toronto.

With a dual mandate to provide affordable performance space to the Toronto arts community and to showcase its own innovative programming, Labspace aims to foster a space of ongoing experimentation, collaboration and exchange.
