SUMMARY:From Bath to Bay Street: The Art of Philip McCulloch-Downs
DESCRIPTION:We feel honoured to become caretakers of this powerful collection — of each individual piece — gifted to us by animal rights artivist\, the deeply talented and compassionate\, Philip McCulloch-Downs: The entirety of his early animal rights collection\, lovingly created between 2014 and 2019\, and now entrusted to us here in Toronto. \nWe will be showing selected pieces for this particular exhibit. \nWe want to thank him\, as well\, for going so far above and beyond — organizing\, documenting\, carefully transporting this collection by bus from his little corner of the world in Bath\, England\, all the way to Heathrow Airport\, and releasing it from his flame-red-haired self into the hands of another flame-red-haired person\, the wonderful Robin Waldman\, who carried this precious cargo across the ocean to us here in Toronto: 3\,475 miles/5\,593 kilometres away! \nIt was almost like we were staging an international art heist with all of the preparation that went into this venture\, down to the most minute detail of anything and everything that “could” happen/go wrong. But we pulled it off — and\, frankly\, the romantic undertaking of smuggling a tiny revolution across the Atlantic in a carry-on bag warranted that kind of effort. \nThese works carry years of pensive thought\, grief\, agony\, empathy\, fury\, tenderness\, and hope. Philip didn’t just send paintings — he sent pieces of his heart. \nThank you\, Philip

SUMMARY:MFA | Unilever Unmasked Protest
DESCRIPTION:Join Mercy For Animals at Unilever\,160 Bloor St E\, Toronto\, ON M4W 1B9. \nA global consumer goods company\, has faced backlash for dropping their 2025 goal of sourcing 100% cage-free eggs worldwide\, maintaining commitments only in Western markets while leaving millions of hens in cages elsewhere. Despite reaching 68% globally\, this move raises concerns about prioritizing profit over animal welfare. \nWe launched a campaign with OWA on Feb 3 to push Unilever to restore its global cage-free commitment and publish a clear\, actionable plan. \nDue to their lack of action\, we are planning a protest at Unilever’s Canadian offices on May 21\, 4:30pm – 6:30pm during AVA Toronto.\nWe will have a banner\, signs\, and leaflets to use the day of. Come with yourself and bonus if you can bring a friend! \nBy attending this and other Mercy For Animals events\, you agree to our Volunteer Terms (https://mercyforanimals.org/volunteer-terms/) and Volunteer Handbook (https://file-cdn.mercyforanimals.org/…/MFA-Volunteer…). \nIf you have any questions feel free to message me on Facebook or by email at animalsmatter@hotmail.com. \nThank you\,\nKelli Demontneay
