Winter Stations recently launched its 10th annual design competition and is calling on local and international designers to reimagine installations from the past to celebrate the milestone.
Winter Stations was launched in 2014 by RAW Architects, Ferris + Associates and Curio to challenge local and international designers to transform the utilitarian lifeguard stations along Toronto’s beaches into works of public art. The competition, which attracts more than 8,000 visitors each year, has seen entries from more than 90 countries.
The theme chosen for the 2024 edition is “Resonance,” in celebration of the 10-year milestone. Meant to “celebrate a decade of resonating with hearts and minds,” the theme aims to capture the artistic legacy and impact of Winter Stations while inviting the community to reflect on past installations. ?We are excited to be launching the 10th annual Winter Stations competition and bringing a milestone opportunity to showcase artists from around the world here in Toronto,? said RAW Design, architect Dakota Wares-Tani. “The theme for this year’s competition invites a reflection into the 10 years of Winter Stations and the impact a public art program can have. We encourage anyone interested to submit their design before December 1st.”
