Art on a Tuesday Returns to 4Scarborough With Comedy, R&B, Magic and More
The multi-genre showcase lands at Half Note 416 on Oct 23, 2026 with live performance, visual art, dinner and drinks.
Art on a Tuesday is moving its name to a Friday night. The Toronto showcase returns on Oct 23, 2026, bringing six art forms into Half Note 416 in Scarborough for one tightly programmed evening.
The lineup moves between stand-up comedy, R&B, magic and mentalism, spoken word, live violin and visual art. Rather than running as an open mic, the organizers have booked a set roster of professional performers, with DJs and a host connecting each part of the night.
Who Is Performing
Sai Kit Lo and Moe Ismail are scheduled to perform stand-up. The bill also includes R&B singer Rose SHIKU, violinist Daniela Olano, illusionist and mentalist Francisco Perez, and spoken word artist Marie-Lauren Gregoire Drummond, also known as MLG.
DJ Kaza and Typhoon Sound will provide music. The organizer lists R&B, reggae, soca, Afrobeats and hip-hop among the genres.
The current lineup also includes visual artists Nadine and Patrice Crichlow, along with author Chevon Marrast.
Dinner and Drinks Come Before the Show
Guests can arrive before the performances for dinner, drinks and a look at the visual art.
