TORONTO ARTMAP 2009, UNVEILING SEPTEMBER 17th at 5:30, ROTUNDA AT CITY HALL
Artmap is a collaborative art piece by artists from each of Toronto’s 44 wards. The work has been commissioned for Manifesto Festival of Community and Culture and will be unveiled on September 17th at 5:30 in the Rotunda at City Hall. City Councillors and participating artists will be in attendance.
Much like a giant puzzle, each artist or arts organization was given a ward shaped piece of a large 8x17’ wooden map of Toronto. Artists were then free to paint or rework the map piece to their desire. After being put back together and displayed, the work will be disassembled and given to each corresponding councillor’s office as a reminder of the vibrancy and unity of art in Toronto.
The work is supported by Live with Culture and the Toronto Arts Council and has been produced with assistance from the AGO, Scarborough Arts Council, Lakeshore Arts and UrbanArts. Please read on for the participating artists.
