For folks in Montreal, please check out something totally new for me, an art exhibit. Thanks to the amazing Maurice Jones who is a doctoral student at #Concordia, our team at @machineagencies @Milieux_news has organized a 10-day exhibit at the beautiful Cafe SAT near Chinatown. We'll be having a Finnisage on May 24, but come by beforehand for the exhibit.
