A Piece of a City is a neighbourhood-based curatorial initiative commissioned for Toronto’s Art of the Danforth Festival (May 2012). The project brings together a group of emerging and established artists to envision a series of site-specific installations and performances that address the interlocking themes of locality, community & contemporary art practice.

Over the course of 6 months, project curators and artists will work within the Danforth East community to conceive, research, document, and finally build a series of contemporary art projects for the festival. This website will serve as our show & tell space. All projects will be documented here from the ground up.

About the AOD Festival:

Art of the Danforth is a month-long multidisciplinary arts festival held along Danforth Ave East between Greenwood Ave and Woodbine Ave in Toronto, Ontario. This year’s festival will host three distinct curatorial zones, each zone produced by a commissioned curatorial collective.

A Piece of a City Project is curated by east-end artists, Annie Onyi Cheung, John Loerchner & Laura Mendes and will run from Coxwell Ave to West Lynn Ave in Zone 2 of the festival.

*Depending on size & scale, artists will be given a budget to conceive their projects.

*Toronto east-end artists and applicants from the neighbourhood are strongly encouraged to apply.
