A Creative Life with Gerard Malanga

An intimate evening of art, poetry, and silkscreen printing at Peach Berserk!

Step inside the world of legendary artist, poet, and filmmaker Gerard Malanga, one of Andy Warhol’s closest collaborators during the iconic Factory years.

This is a rare opportunity to experience Malanga’s work and presence up close—in an intimate, creative setting where conversation, storytelling, and hands-on art come together.

Hosted by artist, designer and Toronto's undisputed Queen of the Silkscreen, Kingi Carpenter at Peach Berserk’s vibrant Queen West studio, this once-in-a-lifetime event blends inspiration with action!

You won’t just hear about art, you’ll make it!

What You’ll Experience

The evening begins with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere—food, drinks, and time to mingle in Peach Berserk’s colourful studio space.

From there, the studio transforms into a working print space.

Together with Gerard and Kingi, you’ll take part in a hands-on silkscreen session, where you’ll create your own printed piece inspired by the spirit of the Factory.

Make Your Own Art

• Submit your own artwork in advance to have it turned into a screen
• Or choose from a curated selection of Factory-inspired designs
• Learn the process of silkscreen printing in a fun, guided environment
• Print your design onto a t-shirt, tote bag or fabric swatch to take home

No experience necessary—this is about creativity, never perfection!
