Artscape used to be a yearly celebration and display of art for the kids at MICA, with music and funnel cakes and arty weirdness on the street by the school on Mount Royal.
I heard that this year it was a weird party downtown with Robin Thicke and a celebratory “dousing of the crowd” with the new annual Cup Of Diarrhea liquid appreciation award (or something).
Of course I wasn’t there, so my info could be incorrect.
