The exhibit is a collaboration between artists, students, architects, and urban geographers. The opening reception is tonight, followed by a party with DJs Dorian and Dorian. Toronto Free Gallery (1277 Bloor Street West), 7 p.m., FREE.

                     

Torontoist is ending the year by naming our Heroes and Villains of 2008--the people, places, and things that we've either fallen head over heels in love with or developed uncontrollable rage towards over the past twelve months, with one hero and one villain selected by each participating staff member. On Christmas Day: the heroes. On Boxing Day: the villains. And next week, cast your vote to determine the Superhero and Supervillain of the year.
