An impressive space in the Distillery District, the fermenting cellar once again played host venue for Drawn to Develop, presented by the Mantella Corporation. This annual event promotes both cause and art, supporting Street Kids International and the incredible talent pool of emerging and established photographers Canada has to offer.

This year the talent stock was high, each photo uniquely inspired by a street-involved youth around the world who benefits from the practical support of Street Kids International.

Dim sum delights along with other snacks from around the globe kept our tummies happy, and Kronenbourg 1664 kept our palettes moist as we gabbed into the night about photography, humanity, social responsibly and art.

We are already looking forward to next year – and can’t wait to see how Drawn to Develop, continues to ‘expose’.
