Artist Project returns to Toronto’s Better Living Centre this weekend, and we’re all for it. 300 artists from Canada and beyond have landed, prepped and are now showcasing their creative narrations for all to take in. We’re highlighting just over 15 artists from that 300 roster and their works—these are the pieces and people that caught our attention. And our favourite artist and booth from opening night was Vincent Devine, so if you’re heading to Artist Project, make sure to find the Irishman. He’ll tell you some wild research. Also, try and catch Art Battle and Telegenic. We’re also keen to check out the chats, including Sunday’s 1PM session presented by Akin, a Toronto-based arts organization that provides affordable studio space as well as arts-based programming.
The full list of participating artists can be found here. Check back soon for more coverage and words from some of the artists.
