HUMP DAY: Break The Routine

Posted by Toronto Girl

Do you ever feel like your life has become this work-go home-work-go home cycle? Want to break the routine but not the piggy bank? Did you know that there are tons and tons of free activities that you can partake on a Wednesday night?

Before I start to sound like a late night infomercial, here's a list of cheap-cheap or free Wednesday Night Activities that are guaranteed to add some spring to your step:

AGO - Free from 6 - 8:30pm. 2 1/2 hours to indulge yourself in the works of Alexander Calder - The Paris Years (no time to waste! its on till January 10th) or world renowned Canadian Film maker Mark Lewis. Later, with the money you save, be chic and artsy while you grab a bite at the Espresso Bar or the chic FRANK restaurant.

THE POWER PLANT - Free from 5- 8pm. Don't know who Micheal Snow is? Find out and make it an ice breaker to meet cute guys. Bonus: the adjoining York Quay Centre (always free) is showing Respect: A Photo Odessy, a collection of photos of Canada's Boreal Forest.

Ben Navaee Gallery offers free life drawing classes fron 7-9pm. Its an ongoing tradition and there's a mix of professional and wanna-be artists. Even if you're not an artist, you should still step outside the box and try it. Maybe you are an artist and you just didn't know it.

ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) - Free between 4:30-5:30pm. An hour is defenitely not enough but go marvel at the Dinosaurs. Unfortunately, the bat cave is closed for renovations until February 27th, but ROM has promised to bring it back darker and scarier. If you're not into Dino's bones, Hamra Abbas' Read is an interesting response to the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit, giving a "multi-faith perspective". Intriguing, isn't it?

Honest Ed's - Bloor Street's iconic landmark might not really qualify as an educational activity if its strickly defined. Regardless, admission is always free, everything is cheap cheap cheap and you might find a knick-knack or two that you can flip around and turn into something else. It could qualify as an art challenge!

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
