ABOUT THE PROJECT

Arts Etobicoke and the Etobicoke Historical Society present Etobicoke Stories of Significance, a collaboration with local artists to curate an interactive exhibit of culturally and historically significant areas across Etobicoke. In 2021 Arts Etobicoke launched Sites of Significance as part of Toronto’s Year of Public Art. Etobicoke Stories of Significance builds on Sites of Significance to gather stories from the community with a focus on the intersection of what makes Etobicoke the place it is today, and the changing community of people who call this place home. This project combines in-person and digital experiences in Arts Etobicoke’s Storefront Gallery to create a compelling cultural experience for our community.

LOCATION

This event will be held in person at the Storefront Gallery at Arts Etobicoke.
