This Toronto Art Benefit Took Guests to a Surreal Speakeasy

After plans to open in a space in Kensington Market last summer fizzled, the Funhouse opened instead on Queen Street West in June. The project, put together by the artist collective Mondo Forma in partnership with Universal Music Canada, turned a 7,500-square-foot space into a maze with 18 different environments. With more than 30 local artists, Manual Arts, a local design studio, handled the production design and was the build partner. Of the 18 rooms, six feature artists who also collaborated with Canadian musicians like Lights, The Beaches, and Jazz Cartier to translate their music into a physical experience. The venue doesn’t offer food and beverage but allows outside catering for events. Full buyouts are available.
