Winter Stations, launched by RAW Design, Ferris + Associates, and Curio in 2014 has launched the winning stations selected from hundreds of submissions.
This year, the theme for Winter Stations, which is back for its 10th year, is Resonance. As a result, designers were challenged to go on a journey to reinvent and reimagine cherished installations from Winter Stations history.
The selected winners saw their visions realized by the support of Anex Works, a Toronto-based fabrication group. The nine public art installations will be on display from now until the end of March and can be found at Woodbine Beach, Woodbine Park, Kew Gardens, and Ivan Forest Gardens.
The winning designs are being showcased alongside three student installations that were designed and built by the Toronto Metropolitan University, the University of Waterloo, and the University of Guelph, respectively. Two designs from the Winter Stations Archive are also on display. ?The launch of Winter Stations brought smiles to the hundreds of people, families, and dogs that came out to see this year?s exhibit. After ten years of consecutively bringing bright and bold art to Toronto?s public realm, the impact of Winter Stations resonates directly with our innate playful nature and we hope to continue this impact for the years to come,? said RAW Design architect Dakota Wares-Tani.
Plans are currently in development for more exhibits later in 2024, sponsored and hosted by Northcrest Developments.
