Starting November 25th, visitors to Junction can explore a magical outdoor gallery presented by Isaan Der Authentic Thai Kitchen, featuring 20 unique augmented reality installation and four animated wall murals.
This year, Junction is also getting two new permanent wall murals located along Dundas Street West, titled Patterns of The Junction (Painted by Julia Prajza and animated by Jonathan Petrou) and Composition with Abstract Shapes and Lines (Painted by Erin McCluskey, animated by Shade Lourens and original music by Joel Schwartz).
In addition to the 24 storefront window and wall murals, The Junction BIA has partnered with ARTiculations Art Supply to host an indoor exhibit showcasing pieces of artwork from the 2022 muralists. The exhibition will take place from November 25 to January 6, 2023, allowing the public to purchase the muralist’s artwork with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the artist.
Those who visit Junction can also enjoy free performances at multiple locations along Dundas Street West of “The Alpine Merry Sheep Choir” which combines movement and theatrical imagery with surrealist humour by award-winning dance company CORPUS every Saturday from December 3 to December 24, from 2-4 PM.
