Friday One last time: As many may know by now, the Aloha Room on Bank St. is pretty much on its last legs. Deemed to cease being altogether due to management issues and a lack of human traffic, this once hoppin' waterhole will be celebrated one last time. So let's give it one last hurrah and make the best of a fun evening featuring live music, poetry, local art...and whatever. 19+/free admission; Friday, July 10, 2009 at 8:00pm to Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 2:00am; 323 Bank St. (Below Barrymores) Orleans: The Ottawa School of Art presents a lecture by Cuban Printmaker Raciel Suárez González, winner of the 2009 Best Lithography Print (2009 OSA International Juried Print Exhibition).Works will be on display from July 9 to August 30, 2009, OSA Orleans Campus Gallery | Shenkman Arts Centre, 245 Centrum Blvd. Perth: Tay River Gallery presents "Summer Sizzle," a group show from July 2 - August 30, 2009 celebrating summer with art with sizzle factor.
