SPEAKEASY in Toronto offers guest spots all year long with free accomodations

[Lizzie]

Hello LST!

I own a shop in Toronto that has hosted a bevy of amazing international artists in our first 18 months of operation and hope to host more. We have in-shop accommodations as half of our shop Is an old converted apartment.

Speakeasy's approach to the guest spot is to offer our shop as an artists' sabbatical wherein you can paint and tattoo any hours you please, if our noon-7 doesn't fit your preferred schedule. Our manager, Hayden, is a force of nature booking people in and no one has left disappointed or under-paid for lack of jobs.

We also host what will become an annual heavily advertised summer tour where www have 5 artists back to back who work for a small daily rent and can pocket as much cash as they can make, or as little if they just want to come up and be laid back! Last years roster was nikki balls, Josh Egnew, cla Dankmeyer, Adam sage, and Jason lambert, and we can't wait to see who will be part of this amazing project in 2011.

All of our advertising for these projects are grassroots and safe for your travels: by postering and handing out handbills, you can be sure that a border guard cannot search your name and deny you entry upon Viewing easily googlable posts about your work trip.

We can't wait to host all kind of new friends and share tips tricks and jokes.

i met lizzie at the brighton convention last year, and we split a booth at montreal this september. i went up to speakeasy for 4 days last month and cant speak highly enough about the whole experience. i was busy the whole time i was there, the customers were all amazing people who wanted awesome tattoos, and more than anything, just had a great time with everyone at the shop. it was the most at home ive ever felt at another shop, and really look forward to going back. plus, next door is some of the best coffee ive ever had. if you can, try and travel up there.
