Location: East-west platform at Yonge and Bloor

Desert blooms have come to Toronto just in time for our deep freeze. Scottsdale, Arizona, which is home to a very robust arts and culture scene, has taken over the Yonge and Bloor subway station with their colourful flower murals. The flowers, which invite Torontonians to "come see what blooms in the desert" are the work of Phoenix-based artist Lauren Lee. Ms. Lee's original canvases were digitally enlarged and printed on vinyl before being shipped to two of North America’s busiest transportation hubs, Penn Station and Plaza in New York City and Yonge and Bloor station in Toronto. Watch the art take shape and hear Ms. Lee talk about the project on absolutelyscottsdale.com's website.
