Queen West Art Crawl 2009

September20

The 7th Annual Queen West Art Crawl took place on September 19 & 20, 2009. We are already overflowing with ideas for installations, symposia, and hot art happenings over 4 days this coming year, and we can’t wait to share them. Watch this space for details early in the new year!

More than 500 artists exhibited their work in locations along Queen Street West from Bathurst to Roncesvalles. Parks, galleries, cafes, retail and design shops and studios got into the act with superb art exhibitions and activities. A celebration of artists and art lovers on the hippest street in Canada.

Since its inception in 2003, the Queen West Art Crawl (QWAC for those in the know) has flourished into a three-day celebration of creativity, ingenuity and community. QWAC presents a wonderful weekend showcasing the dynamic creative talent that makes the Parkdale / Queen West community one of the city’s most precious cultural outlets.

Steve Jacobs and I had a great weekend in Trinity Bellwoods park. I sold a ton of work and made some good new friends. Definitely watch for me to be back for my 4th QWAC in September 2010!

Your Comment:

I am a real estate agent and a photographer, blending the two passions into what you see here. Selling condos and lofts, I am very cognizant of the pace of development in Toronto. I love seeing the conversion of an old factory or warehouse into lofts – even more when I see the same joy in the face of a client viewing such a unit.

Our world is filled with structures, some forgotten and others well-loved. What stories do these buildings have to tell… what scenes have those stones witnessed? Why is the human race so obsessed with erecting these monuments made of metal and brick – and why do they so carelessly abandon them when they are no longer needed?

These are some of the questions I like to address in my photography. I lived for many years in a small town north of Toronto and saw many old farms left to rot. It was these old barns and silos that originally piqued my interest in the decayed. Now exploring the urban landscape, my goal is to bring the documentary power of my camera to the hidden areas of cities everywhere.

Co-founder and member of the DK Photo Group and co-owner of galleryDK – this vision has taken me to new heights. The work of the DKPG and myself was recognized by Bravo!TV in a 6-show series “photoXplorers” that ran from November 5th through December 10th, 2009

I am immensely proud to announce that I was elected to the both the Ontario Society of Artists, as well as the Society of Canadian Artists, in 2009. This sort of recognition by my peers is a very major honour.
