This spring, The Shiny Shop invites you to be seen, be safe, and be shiny through a series of free drop-in workshops centered around bike and pedestrian safety, creative expression, connection, and shared joy.

Created by Alex Makes Art and team, The Shiny Shop has transformed a former coffee shop at 114 Western Ave into a playful community hub and neighborhood hangout featuring interactive installations, hands-on making and mending, a zine library, disco bike, and a rotating lineup of guest artists and creative activities.
