The 2008 Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit


Last weekend marked the annual Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit at Nathan Phillips Square. Always one of the more enjoyable weekends of the summer, the event lived up to its high expectations of showcasing different kinds of art from emerging talented Canadian artists. Below are a few of my personal favourites:

Ceramic art from Julie Moon





Cleverly reconstructed purses made out of old books by Noelle Hamlyn




Mixed media and custom art by Danielle Hession



A recent grad from Ontario's College of Art & Design, the juxtaposition between her vintage images and modern choice of mixed media, results in beautiful and fascinating pieces. If you would like a custom picture, Danielle can incorporate personal photographs into her work.










Funny Toronto t-shirts by Yasmine Louis



"there was smog in my head"






"I spent the day getting on and off the Spadina car, hoping for something to happen"




Toronto images painted by artist, Rob Crawford




Fine art photography of intricate Ontario landscapes, by Janusz Wrobel











Unique photography that makes you smile by Quebec's, Jerome Bourque






Don't fret if you missed this year's art exhibit, the Queen West art crawl is just around the corner and features many of the same artists who were at Nathan Phillips Square. It's happening at Trinity Bellwoods from September 12th-14th.
