\"ART<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0The\u00a0Art of the Danforth 2014 (AoD)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is an experimental public art festival in Toronto\u2019s east end.<\/p>\n

The festival takes place in a remarkable\u00a0neighborhood<\/a>\u00a0on and around Danforth Avenue, roughly bookended by Greenwood and Woodbine TTC stations.<\/p>\n

This is the third iteration of the festival in roughly since 2010, during which time the area has changed considerably.<\/p>\n

With each edition,\u00a0Art of the Danforth<\/em>\u00a0has been a reflexive and reactive festival, encouraging artists to respond to the changes in the neighborhood and work with its current condition at that point in\u00a0time<\/a>*. Five years have allowed the festival to become an interesting long-term experiment into the roles and possibilities of public art in a neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The 2014 edition of\u00a0Art of the Danforth<\/em>\u00a0will take place May 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0\u2013 May 11th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

This year, we\u2019re attempting to upend the very idea of a festival itself. The broad theme of AoD 2014 is whether this community needs a public art festival at all; essentially, we\u2019re asking curators to examine\u00a0what roles do artists working in a public place play?<\/strong><\/p>\n

INTRODUCING ART OF THE DANFORTH 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

FEBRUARY 27, 2014 6:00 PM<\/strong>
\n(RSVP HERE)<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to invite you to our festival launch on\u00a0February 27th(6:30 PM).\u00a0 Join us to hear more about the project, meet the 2014 curators as well as community members. I look forward to talking to you about the ideas we are trying to explore.\u00a0 Appetizers and drinks are on us!<\/p>\n

The event is being held at our new festival office space located right outside Greenwood Station on the second floor of the\u00a0Linsmore Tavern (1298 Danforth Ave)<\/a>\u00a0– a historic bar and hotel, continuously running since 1932.<\/p>\n

Art of the Danforth 2014 is produced by East End Arts, made possible by the generous support of Canadian Heritage, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Danforth Mosaic BIA and the City of Toronto, as well as the help of\u00a0our community partners.<\/a><\/p>\n

*<\/span>Hyperlinked in the word \u2018time\u2019 is a 2012 project by artist and curator Emily DiCarlo called \u2018A Temporary History\u2019. Interviewing store owners along the strip of Danforth Ave., DiCarlo marked the date of the businesses\u2019 founding on the street in front of it. A fascinating array of community history in 2012, in 2014 it has become a memento mori, as a number of these businesses have disappeared.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n
