Free Outdoor Art Gallery Featuring Augmented Reality by Local and International Artists
Window Wonderland, Toronto’s award-winning outdoor art exhibition, is back to the Junction from November 29th, 2024, to January 31st, 2025, transforming the neighborhood into a must-see holiday attraction – an outdoor gallery filled with 20 augmented reality (AR) window installations and ten murals by both local and international artists.
Window Wonderland is presented in collaboration with the internationally renowned Artivive app, a leader in augmented reality art exhibitions. Visitors can interact with the artwork and watch it come to life with immersive digital animations, adding an exciting new dimension to the experience.
New this year is Flora and Fauna, a new mural by local artist Lula Lumaj and animator Sima Nasee. This stunning new AR installation, created in partnership with the City of Toronto Outdoor Mural Street Art Program, is at 384 Pacific Ave. This mural celebrates the Butterfly Gardens and local pollinators, fostering a deeper connection to the local environment.
