Art on Wheels Nourishes a Hungry City

We're going in another direction. Toronto's experiencing something of a regeneration, what with bold, new architectural shoots and plans for greener streetscapes threatening to upend our reputed preference for a staid, vanilla aesthetic. But these are stationary propositions—they will be built, rooted as a reef, and we will come. But what about the art of serendipity? Why not an accidental encounter with the sublime? Art on the Move is "a mobile community arts project," the purpose of which is to add a few drops of public, urban design into a street—into a life—near you.

Art That Moves

Louise Garfield is taking her love of art to the streets. As executive director of Arts Etobicoke, she is collaborating with Lakeshore Arts, her sister organization, to display new works across Toronto. But these pieces won’t be seen on billboards or in other traditional outlets; instead, they will be featured on the side of travelling motorized vehicles for a new project titled ART ON THE MOVE.
