Waterfront Toronto Selects Final Public Art Installation for Front Street Promenade
November 18, 2014, Toronto, ON – Last month, Waterfront Toronto awarded Berlin-based artists Hadley+Maxwell the third and final public art commission for Front Street East in the West Don Lands. The artists have proposed Garden of Future Follies, a new sculptural work, which will be located on the corner of Front Street East and Bayview Avenue. This section of the new Front Street promenade will form a series of urban rooms that will define the emerging neighbourhood.
