Red Bull’s got you covered tomorrow night. Shouts to the fam but it’s too bad a Toronto artist isn’t the headliner especially considering the title of the event. Just call it something else then…

106 & York UrbanArts Festival

Show Starts at 6pm

Cover: $5 at the Door

Yorkwoods Theater – 1785 Finch Avenue West
Performers include JD Era, Rich Kidd, Shi Wisdom, JD Keyz and more!

“The best part of the festival, is the energy at the show.”, says Show Producer, Leandra LeGendre. “It’s unmatched. It’s a fresh and fearless crowd with a grassroots energy.”

With the support of festival partners UrbanArts, N.I.S.E. Clothing, High Class, and Manifesto, the organizers have developed a stellar showcase of Toronto’s talent and continues to give artists a platform from which they can build their careers. 106 and York also helps to build the capacity of the community to organize similar events by taking on community members as staff and interns.

In addition to performances, community merchandise/info tables allow local organizations and entrepreneurs to get involved by displaying information about their group. Some of the groups represented at our festival are: Urbanology Magazine, Hip Hop Canada.com, and other Toronto vendors will be selling their art and merchandise, so please feel free to bring the family enjoy the entertainment, and support this all ages event.

About 106 and York:

106 and York is a youth-led collaborative that supports youth in the urban arts through various initiatives. Our most prominent initiative is our multi-disciplinary youth urban arts festival that is presented in collaboration with other youth-led organizations such as Highclass and N.I.S.E. Clothing and larger organizations such as UrbanArts and Manifesto. This festival develops and showcases the talent of emerging musicians, recording artists, dancers, theatre groups, visual artists, film makers, photographers and fashion designers of North West Toronto.

Using mentorship to train younger and less experienced youth on the positions required to make the festival happen. This is not only a means of community building, but it also creates opportunities for youth to gain experience and employable skills within the arts sector. Additionally, the collective offers artist development workshops that train local emerging artists on art and business skills needed for their professional development. Beyond the festival, 106 and York supports and motivates young people who have been alienated from mainstream institutions to organize and create spaces for artistic expression in meaningful and professional ways.

Shi Wisdom, who is arguably (as in I will argue with you if you disagree) the most impressive voice to come out of Toronto this past year, is releasing her new EP “LVSPK” (Love Speak) and putting on her first ever showcase of its material. Shi’s been steady building her buzz over the past year or so with singles, features, co-writing credits with Drake + her standout performance in this year’s Stylus/Cityonmyback viral cypher, and although she’s done quite a few shows in the city this show is definitely shaping up to be the one. With a live band and a restricted 150 ticket capacity I wouldn’t sleep too long on grabbing tickets which are going for $20 and can be purchased by calling 647-210-7170.

It all goes down Saturday July 28th @Revival (783 College St.).
