Thank you for coming out to the opening of 𝘍𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 last week! We had a blast, ate lots of candy, and now we have some photos to share of the fun, taken by 📷 Andrew Lewis ✨

𝘍𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 🤯❤️‍🔥🧠

In this show, nearly 40 Peake Street Collective artists created artworks about the things they love, their obsessions, their fascinations, and their secret devotions.

🗓️ Come by during opening hours, Wednesday to Saturday, noon to 5pm.

Also, this week is national volunteer week, and we can’t help but shout out the volunteer efforts that went into this show from .ashleigh.writes and the countless hours of support from

📖 We ran out of printouts of .rukavina ‘s text “This is wha I love, come find me.” at the opening, but we have more available now for you to grab!

Today, on World Art Day, we invite you to join us for the opening of « Fanatics » by Peake Street Collective!

We asked Peter Rukavina to help put into words what this show is about, and he wrote a beautiful text called “This is what I love, come find me.” We wanted to share some of this text with you, particularly on a day where many are sharing what art means. Pick up your copy of the text tonight to read the whole thing.

Thanks to .council and for their support
