ART: The Institute for Contemporary Culture—the arm of the Royal Ontario Museum responsible for the recent "Unbuilt Toronto" exhibit—initiates phase two of “Housepaint,” an installation that invites Canada’s best street artists in from the cold. The project is a collaborative memorial to Toronto's former tent city, and is intended to continue addressing the issue of homelessness in Toronto. The resulting canvas houses will be auctioned off to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity. Royal Ontario Museum, Roloff Beny Gallery (100 Queen’s Park), 10 a.m.–5:30 p.m., FREE with admission ($22).

Halloween has returned as scheduled, and there's lots on the plate this evening for ghosts, goblins, stormtroopers, and Jedis alike. If our detailed Halloween-ist guide hasn't sated your appetite for BRAINS...um, events to attend this evening, swing by some of the following gigs—just watch out for razors in apples, strangers in white (or was it red?) vans, unwrapped chocolate bars, crossing the road without a reflector, going into strangers' basements, shaking hands without sanitizer, and binge eating pixie sticks.

This one is pretty self-explanatory. With the tagline “fuck bands, let’s spell,” Whippersnapper is holding Toronto’s first “Adult” Spelling Bee this Thursday, with all door proceeds (plus half the cash bar) going toward Parkdale Project Read.

Right now, as you're reading this—assuming you're reading this before 7 p.m. Friday—Whippersnapper Gallery (587A College Street) is open for the third edition of "Sleep is for Dead People." The event stretches twenty-fours, from Thursday to Friday evening, during which twenty artists all stay and create work at Whippersnapper, with the public invited in to watch the magic slowly and sleepily unfold.

Strap on your tux or taffeta this Friday, February 1 and head down to WhipperSnapper Gallery (587A College Street) for Let's Get Hitched.
