The Wallet Gallery

February 2002 - ongoing, (programming has been fairly sporadic)

Halifax, NS (Canada) but will be moving to Toronto, ON in June 2005

The wallet gallery is fairly self-explanatory. It is frequently located in Courtney Parks' rear pocket. Anyone wishing to see a show can simply ask him for the wallet. A show consists of anything that will fit into, around or somehow conforming to the wallet. There are two stock model wallets (1 white vinyl and 1 brown leather) but any wallet can be used. A chain is optional, but normally patrons are trusted with the wallet.
