THE PAINTED PATH

The Painted Path was created to foster a sense of discovery and to animate long stretches of pavement in and around the Downsview Lands. From Downsview Park subway station, people were taken on a journey through Downsview Park along a path punctuated with unexpected lines, local art, and audio tour stops that highlight Downsview’s rich arts and culture scene, past and present. In 2021, these playful lines became canvases for six local artists: Jieun June Kim; Moises Frank; Kaya Joan; Gosia Komorski; Phillip Saunders; and Curtia Wright. Young artists Gabriela Gonzalez and Josiah Grant were mentees for the project, brought in to the project by Kayode Brown of Just BGRAPHIC.
