The CCA is ushering in a new exhibit this evening called ABC:MTL, a show as diffuse, diverse and collaged together as the city itself. An ongoing series of talks, exhibits and cultural events, the series is intended to be open-ended, expansive and community-driven, with new events, exhibit elements unveiled continuously throughout the next several months to continuously forge new connections to produce new events and expand the exhibit’s purview and audiences’ perspectives on local life. Vernissage tonight, Tuesday Nov. 12, CCA (1920 Baile), 6:30-11:00 p.m., featuring music from Foxtrott and DJ Psychébélique
