For eager collectors, an opening-night ticket offers an exclusive first look at fair, but if you’re just there to take in the scene, you’re in for a treat Thursday evening. Starting at 6:30 p.m., artists Pixel Heller and Xica Dieffenthaller-Lee Poy will be performing Moko Jumbie in the Main Aisle of the Better Living Centre — a dance inspired by the carnival traditions of Trinidad and Tobago. “It will be a one-night-only performance,” says Fried, “and the kicker of the whole thing is it happens on stilts.”

If you miss the performance, you can still see more from Heller. A multidisciplinary artist from Winnipeg, she’s currently a student at Toronto’s OCAD University, and as part of the fair’s Untapped Emerging Artists program, she’ll be presenting a selection of her paintings in Booth U15.
