Winter Stations

Winter Stations, the international design competition is back for its eighth year to animate Toronto’s Beaches with design during the winter months.

Winter Stations is a single-stage international design competition held annually. Participants are tasked with designing temporary winter art installations which incorporate existing lifeguard towers spaced strategically across the city’s Kew and Woodbine beaches. The structures (not in use in the wintertime) are considered visual anchor points for the installations.

2024 — Theme: Resonance

Over the past 10 years, Winter Stations has become a vibrant tapestry of art, innovation, and community. It’s a testament to the transformative power of creativity and the lasting impact it leaves on our lives.

In the spirit of celebrating a decade of resonating with our hearts and minds, we are thrilled to announce the theme for the 2024 edition of Winter Stations: Resonance.

Resonance captures the echoes of our artistic legacy and the enduring impact of Winter Stations. It invites us to reflect on the moments that have left a lasting mark, the installations that have stirred our hearts, and the memories that have become part of our collective narrative.
