The Artist Project Toronto 2011
Two hundred artists fill the Queen Elizabeth Building at Exhibition Place this weekend (March 3-6 2011) for Toronto’s annual event, The Artist Project. Now in its fourth year, the Artist Project features a wide range of mediums, including installations and video art, as well as art chats and docent-led tours.
I first heard about The Artist Project last year from artist Andrea Bird. Andrea was displaying encaustic art at a booth she was sharing with other artists from the Propeller Gallery in Toronto. So much art under one roof! Definitely, an event I want to attend every year.
Toronto Encaustic Artists
As a Toronto Encaustic Artist myself I thoroughly enjoyed spending an inspiring Friday afternoon chatting with artists, ten of them, Toronto encaustic artists. It was so interesting seeing the same medium worked in such different ways. If you can’t make it to The Artist Project this weekend you can tour their work through their websites:
- Tanya Kirouac
- Ann Shier
