Toronto –
In the Bloor and Kipling area there is a construction hoarding with some beautiful examples of 3 things that we love: Colour (no, not a spelling error), expressions of life here in Toronto and human art.
This temporary public art installation on the hoarding surrounding the construction site of the future Etobicoke Civic Centre is eye catching and very “Canadian”. Please find the time to visit it if you are in the area – before it’s gone.
Congrats to these Toronto Artists:
Community Archways
by Kathryn Doner
is displayed along Bloor Street West.
Kathryn Doner is an artist based in South Etobicoke and a member of Dokis First Nations who tells compelling stories through illustration and large scale murals.
Margins of Impermanence
by Aline Setton Caliman (Aline Setton Arte)
is installed along Kipling Avenue.
Aline Setton is a Latin American visual artist and first-generation Canadian immigrant whose work explores how built environments shape identity, memory, and spatial perception.
The Roads We Share
by Kiki Hamazaki along Dundas Street West.
Kiki Hamazaki is a Japanese Canadian illustrator and comic artist based in Etobicoke who uses her artistic practice to celebrate community.

The hoarding will remain in place until the new Etobicoke Civic Centre construction is complete.
Toronto art continues to “pop”. Going to make a trip to see these in person.
