COME SIT AT MY TABLE is an open invitation of friendship. By inviting people to sit at your table, they learn about your culture, and you about theirs. “By breaking bread together” all cultures signify an open extension of being accepted and welcomed. Toronto has a history of immigration that shares its culture through food. My process was initiated with memories and oral stories dating back to my great-grandfather and grandfather who fled China due to famine and political unrest to seek fortunes and to send money back home, much like today’s political immigration stories.
We shared food as an extended family growing up in my grandfather’s rooming house populated by single men stranded in Canada, due to Canada’s Exclusion Act barring Chinese immigration and permanently separating families.
Our food history is shaped by immigration and even more so in the present with over 140 languages being spoken in Toronto.
Food is a common factor that makes each culture unique and binds us together with one- tool for dialogue and meeting place. Food is central to the sharing of culture and a way to communicate acceptance.

183 Gallery, we envision a world where art & music are accessible to everyone. We believe that creativity is a fundamental human trait that should be nurtured and celebrated. Growing up in downtown Toronto, the owner Carol had the fortune of being exposed to the arts at a young age through the philanthropy of Ed Mirvish and the Inner City Angels school based programs. Remembering intimate places that showcased flamenco guitar or jazz with Joel Shulman at the Garden Party on Avenue Road....where one could go and get close to the music and musicians in small venues.

KAELEY JADE will be arriving in Toronto fresh from performing at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards in St. John's, NL, and she will be joined by guitarist, vocalist and percussionist Gabriel Gagnon. Doors at 7pm, music at 7:30pm. Kaeley Jade is an award-winning Métis singer/songwriter, actor, and multidisciplinary artist based in Edmonton, Alberta (amiskwaciwâskahikan).
Blending lush imagery and hooky melodic lines to create her own brand of pop-forward indie folk music, Kaeley has performed at venues and festivals across Canada, including the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, JUNOfest, BreakOut West, the Canmore Folk Music Festival, NXNE, Coldsnap, and the Tkaronto Music Festival. Kaeley moves between ballads and bops with ease, and she brings an electricity to the stage whether she is playing an intimate acoustic duo set or playing alongside her full five-piece band.
Her vibrant debut full-length album, Turpentine, has earned her significant recognition in the Canadian music scene—she is a 3x Canadian Folk Music Award Nominee, Western Canadian Music Award Nominee, Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Award Winner, SOCAN Indigenous Songwriter Awards Finalist, and 2023 Henry Armstrong Award Recipient.
Described as a contemporary fusion of mainstream hipness and retro musicality, Hanson’s live performances are driven by high-energy, roots guitar vibes. Her authentic connection with audiences, showcased in solo acts—or with her band, the Good Intentions—is both entertaining and disarming. Known for her charm and humour on stage, Hanson’s spontaneity and honesty enchants.
Too tough for folk and too blues-influenced for country, LYNNE HANSON’s brand of porch music with a little red dirt can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. Her hard living music has garnered her the nickname “Canada’s own Queen of Americana.” And while her deep, bluesy croon has drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, it’s the poetry of her lyrics that really sets her apart.
A two-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner, Hanson is known for her high energy, roots guitar driven live performances, whether playing solo or with her band the Good Intentions. She has an uncanny way of connecting with her audience with an authenticity that is as entertaining as it is disarming. Her prolific songwriting has taken her on extensive tours across North America, Europe, and the UK, gracing major festivals such as Take Root, Glasgow Americana, and Maverick Festival.
