TTC to host Public Art Open House on Nov 14
Tomorrow, Nov. 14, the TTC is hosting an open house for persons interested in upcoming public art installations at TTC stations.
The open house, which will be held at the Toronto Reference Library, will allow members of the public the opportunity to preview the arts concepts that will be installed at five stations on Line 2 – Bay, Castle Frank, Christie, Donlands and Lansdowne stations.
The artists who have been selected are:
- Bay Station: Francisco-Fernando Granados
- Castle Frank Station: Vivian Rosas
- Christie Station: Sanaz Mazinani
- Donlands Station: April Hickox
- Lansdowne Station: Steven Beckly
The open house will be held at the Bram and Bluma Appel Salon in the Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge Street) on Thurs., Nov. 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet some of the artists and TTC technical staff.
Public art is an important component of station upgrades and is being included at these five stations as part of the Easier Access and Second Exit projects. Artists will work with the TTC to bring their concepts to life in the stations.
To date, art has been installed at the following stations: Chester, Coxwell, Dufferin, Dupont, Ossington, Runnymede, Sherbourne, St Clair West, Wilson and Woodbine. Art work is also being planned for several other stations in coordination with upcoming Easier Access and Second Exit construction.
