Sunday Drive art

Toronto artists want to drive you out of town

One of Toronto's most intriguing art events of the summer will take place in a town I couldn't find on a map - until the presenters ofSunday Drivecontacted me. Warkworth, ON is about 150km from Toronto - a quick Google image search of the 700 person community yields a photo of sheep. An art scene you'd imagine forWarkworthmight revolve around wind-chimes and lawn ornaments crafted by retirees with sprawling yards, maybe a sleepy gift shop that goes all-out for the holidays. Not so from August 23rd through September 7th:contemporary artis taking a trip to Trent Hills.

Sunday Drive presents Warkworthwill span two weeks, as Toronto artists present satelliteinstallationsand performances via local art hubsMercer Union,Gladstone Hotel,Huntclub, Art Spin, Interaccess, Akin Collective, and more. The project is reminiscent of last year'sLand|Slide exhibitat Markham Museum, which saw pop up installations scattered throughout pioneer buildings.

The exhibit launches not on Sunday but on Saturday, August 23 with projections by Oliver Pauk, Michael Vickers, and Personnel (7:40pm) and a performance by Hazel Meyer (9pm). No ride?Take the art busfrom 87 Wade Ave at 4pm for $25 - the trip includes free drinks, snacks, and surprises, and will return you at midnight.
