Arts-related happenings in 2013 had a variety of show stoppers for revellers to experience. We shout out the highlights, and why they made the list. From concerts to Cronenberg, library galas to parkside plays, we'll either help you fondly remember the coolest things you saw last year, or help you prepare for next year. Perhaps even both; indulge yourself and be ready to plan and/or reminisce!

Jeffrey Remedios is the co-founder and president of Arts & Crafts, a record label and production company. He did offer some advice to those looking to start their own label: "Have Broken Social Scene be the first band you sign." For the first three years of the label, they were able to work with Broken Social Scene, their friends and band members' side projects.
