In 2021, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Glory Hole Gallery expanded from it's micro-gallery format and began partnering with Whippersnapper Gallery to host a series of in-person and street-level viewable exhibitions in Whippersnapper Gallery's storefront window on Dundas Street, in Toronto, Ontario.

Each artist employs various sensorial strategies through the use of food, song, video, and sound to demand the attention of the viewer and detail experiences of neurodiversity, nostalgia, joy, demands of labor, and language reclamation of women, femme, gender non-conforming, and queer people.
