Celebrate Pride this year with ‘Synthæsia,’ a collaborative experience by IC Contemporary and READ THE ROOM, sponsored by Vitaly.

Sounds for the night are provided by READ THE ROOM's in-house DJ Third Eye with our special guest BabyQ and a performance by Midas from the House of Venom, winners of the Absolut Vodka Empire's Ball 2024!

“Synthæsia” is a showcase of Toronto queer photographers who wield their practices to immortalize the vibrant essence and energy of Toronto’s Queer nightlife. This exhibition delves into the profound role these spaces play as sanctuaries for the queer community, unleashing a cascade of sensory experiences that heighten sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing.

The exhibition will be hosted at Its OK* Studios June 25th – July 4th, with gallery hours between 10am-5pm, Monday-Thursday. Additional public programming will be released via ICC’s newsletter; be sure to sign up via the link in our bio for first dibs on our Art Bus and Sound Bath experience.

We're also extending immense gratitude to Imaged Advertising Creations and Absolut Vodka for supporting us on this extraordinary event!
