Step right up. Step right up ladies and gentlemen...

Step right up to the ticket box office and get your passport to a sexy circus of fun.

Our guests will be transported into another world. You’ve never seen Cube art gallery look like this! A contortionist, fire fans, popcorn, graffiti artists and hoola-hoopers will help create the perfect environment to discover and bid on the unique art objects on offer from Canadian artists and celebs.

The event design was created by Ian Capstick at MediaStyle and is influenced by well-known street fashion styles from the over the forty-five years Planned Parenthood has been working with Ottawa’s youth. MediaStyle has mashed up punk, mod and gothic stylings with circus elements to create the only night only: Magic Boxes Circus.

Of course, when PPO and Ian set out to plan this event we had to make sure the artist designed boxes are the stars of the show - the gallery’s name (Cube) fits well and a circus theme was decided on after brainstorming the most exciting things to arrive in boxes: we were enamored with the thought of an arriving circus train.
