On Saturday, AUGUST 8 the second ever SWAP/DROP will be taking over the southwest side of Bellevue Park!! (Kensington Market, fyi) It runs from 11:30am -6 :30pm We will have an ArtSpace set up for people of all ages to make crafts, hang out and get creative in whatever way you’d like plus of course, the Swap/Drop :]
OFFICIAL GROUP: SWAP/DROP (join to stay updated or volunteer for the next one) ++Share this event with your friends!
We had such a great time hearing your stories, painting pinecones and doing scavenger hunts with you! A big thanks to everyone who was so supportive of this idea. I hope to see you back again :] Keep in mind, the Swap/Drop wasn’t only created to have free fun and get free stuff. I created this to inspire others to think differently about unnecessary consumerism and the role we play in waste management. If we buy less, share more & think differently about what is considered junk, we can limit lots of waste ending up in the dump and make cool art/furniture at the same time. Who knows, maybe the best things in life really are free.
A painting lots of people added paint to on June 6th, 2015 – the first Swap/Drop
This Saturday I will be hosting an event called the SWAP/DROP where you can:
@ BELLEVUE PARK (southwest side)
OFFICIAL 100in1dayTO: SWAP/DROP (more info)
Essentially I am trying to get the community together so we can think differently about consumerism and the role we play in waste management.
Buy less, share more & think differently about what trash means to YOU.
Come visit me and my friends in Kensington Market this Friday, Saturday & SUN-Solstice-Day!
I will only be there the Friday, but if you live in Toronto come check it out and support your local artists and creators.
Sofi from Great Spirit Designs asked me to answer a few questions for the Winter Market:
Read it and weep! ∀
My name is Samm. I am born and raised a ‘Kensington Kid’. I use my creative spirit to refashion clothing, jewelry, housewares, etc from salvaged and thrifted objects.The best way to describe my work is to define Arisetotrash. It is a series of products, projects and philosophies. It is art, life and everything in between. It’s changing the way you think about junk and making it pure funk.
I got inspired to re-invent the idea of obsolescence, to embrace that which we could simply throw away and be challenged to make something new of it. Currently I am focusing on re-purposing fabrics, plastics and various toys.
I guess you could say my idea was birthed from garbage day at the Market, or maybe the crusty punk kids who hung out in the park when I was younger and more impressionable.
3 songs that are the soundtrack to my life… humm, that’s a hard one. System of a Down – Mind, Kimya Dawson – Little Bunny Foo Foo, and having jam sessions with friends (and soon-to-be-friends).
If I could be any vegetable I would be a Dandelion. Very underrated, contagious, food for turtles, beautiful in all forms, super healthy for you, yummy and I’d make delicious wine.

Judge me not! Support and love me~~~ :}
Don’t forget, I will also be in Oakville on SUN-Solstice-Day 10am-4pm
