Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition

The Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition is happening this weekend at City Hall.

Now in its 49th year, the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition [TOAE] is a juried showcase featuring contemporary fine art and craft that takes place on Nathan Phillips Square every July. As the largest outdoor art exhibition in Canada, TOAE offers a fresh-air alternative to conventional art shows and galleries. Hundreds of artists participate and an estimated 100,000 visitors attend the exhibition every year. Side by side, established artists, undiscovered talents and innovative students sell their work directly to the public and make lasting connections with art dealers and collectors. In 2009, the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition's award program presented over $30,000 in cash awards and prizes to participating artists.

There are lots and lots and lots of tents set up.

If you need paintings, pictures, jewelry, dishware and so much more, it's the place to be!

And if you were hungry, you could get some corn on the cob and pulled pork sandwiches.
