Free events in Toronto this week will let you mix cult and culture in a way that only the truly strapped for cash can appreciate. Gallery TPW's Photorama 2014 photo exhibit will pay their bills for most of the year, but it's free for anyone to check out. Then, did you know Unlovable has a Twin Peaks mural? It doesn't anymore after this week, so go take a backwards selfie. Sunday offers cheesy movies galore, and fans of classical music and indie lit will have plenty to do.

Here's what you'll find yourself stuffing plastic bags in your boots for in Toronto this week.
