The Artful City is an exhibit in two parts, currently on display in the Community Gallery on the lower level of the Art Gallery of Ontario. The image here represents a portion of the wall map which marks the locations of over 700 pieces of public art in the city. On the opposite wall is a timeline which features one piece of art from each of the last 50 years. The aim of the project is to encourage discussion about public art in the city by graphically depicting the patterns of distribution and documenting changing styles over time. The exhibit is free to attend and is on until May 21st.
