Expect an elegantly strange atmosphere at Spiked Tea: Surrealist Derby. This afternoon event – now in its third year – features outlandish tables hosted by some of Toronto’s most exciting emerging artists. Specialty tea cocktails and finger sandwiches will give way to cheering and friendly competition. With the roll of a die, party goers can join the Surrealist Derby Horse Races with steeds designed by participating artists. Don your best Surrealist Derby attire (over-the-top hats, bizarre bow ties and uncanny outfits) and join Mercer Union for an afternoon of hobnobbing and table hopping.
Art Direction by Jennifer Simaitis & Stefan Hancherow
