About this event
Due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Ontario, the DesignTO exhibit with Wychwood Barns is postponed indefinitely.
Play at the Barns is the culmination and showcase of the design ideas of community members, local artists, and youth to reimagine Wychwood Barns Park as an accessible and inclusive playground and outdoor gathering space for the community as it grows and changes.
The reception will feature presentations by Urban Minds, FOWBP, and the winning student team of the 1UP Youth Design Competition. The exhibit will also include an artist-led opportunity for visitors to co-create a communal art piece, which will later be displayed at Artscape Wychwood Barns as a reminder of the ongoing creative and collaborative effort to reimagine and animate the park.
The Peter MacKendrick Community Gallery is an accessible venue.
