Roncesvalles Pedestrian Bridge
Description: An international cultural exchange between the City of Toronto and the City of Chicago as part of the StreetARToronto Partnership Program, easily the largest and most significant piece I have worked on. The project is part of a cultural exchange between sister cities Toronto and Chicago to commemorate Canada’s 150th birthday and the ‘Year of Public Art’ that is taking place in Chicago. The project is part of the StreetARToronto Partnership Program and is a collaboration with the STEPS Initiative, an award-winning, Toronto-based public arts organization. The project brought together the artist and local residents to transform the Roncesvalles Pedestrian Bridge, one of Toronto’s busiest connections to the waterfront. The launch was sponsored by the Palais Royale. Unending thanks to everyone involved
