During Out of Site, business along Queen St. West between Simcoe and Bathurst will be featuring art in their establishments. Below are some of the planned art windows, performances and installations in the BIA.
The Rivoli
334 Queen St. West
Performance by Dr. Draw
Dr. Draw is known as the first ever violinist to venture from rock and classical into electronic club culture. Whether opening for A-list acts like Cyndi Lauper at an open air festival in the U.S., or creating near chaos at the Toronto Beaches Jazz Festival or playing luxury brand events like Chloé and Dom Pérignon; Dr. Draw inspires kudos wherever he plays. Dr. Draw’s constantly evolving musical style brings together the seemingly disparate elements of classical violin, jazz-rock fusion, folk and pop into a riveting masala that feeds the soul and invigorates audiences.
Off the Wall
450 Queen St. West
Not for Sale – 31 Years of Collecting
Installation by Cameron Carr
Artist’s statement:
I have been an avid collector of Eurythmics and Annie Lennox memorabilia for over 3 decades. The availability of rare purchases became readily available with the onset of such websites as eBay, discogs, and esprit. This window represents less than half of the entire collection. Although it has been a labour of love, it is quickly becoming overwhelming. I have recently had to move into a larger condo to display and house it, with it having an entire room dedicated to it.
Cameron Carr is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and York University. His works have been part of many group exhibitions, but this is his first solo exhibit.
