By The Power Of Greyskull (And Sick Kids)!

For a lot of people who grew up in the '80s, the cartoon/comic book series Masters of the Universe was a large part of their childhood. It makes a lot of sense, then, that the Masters of the Universe: He-Man She-Ra Art Show happening at Magic Pony is a fundraiser for the Hospital of Sick Kids.

For those unaware of the series, MOTU was started in the early '80s as a line of toys made by Mattel that featured He-Man and his arch-enemy Skeletor. He-Man protected Castle Greyskull from Skeletor, as the ruler of Greyskull had the power to become the Master of the Universe. A line of comics soon followed, then an animated series, followed by the spin-off She-Ra, the female equivalent to He-Man.

The event will feature the works of over twenty artists from around the globe and their MOTU-inspired art. The works will be on display from March 29th to the 31st, with the opening reception happening on the night of the 29th, from 7-10 p.m. It costs $10 to get into the reception, which will also include a silent auction for the art.
