Toronto Mural & Art Show Comes to Delmanor Prince Edward!



Delmanor Prince Edward was transformed into a beautiful display of art history and artistic works for the residents and team members to enjoy!

"The Artist"
Guest speaker, Gary Hepworth, from Toronto's Village of Murals, came to Delmanor Prince Edward to share with the residents some of Toronto's most spectacular murals from the Islington Village and also to provide each artists story behind their creations.

As the day progressed, the excitement only grew as Nuit Blanche & Art Show came to life. Nuit Blanche, which can be literally translated to White Night in French, is an annual evening arts festival. A Nuit Blanche typically has museums with private and public art galleries, with the city itself being transformed into an art show, providing space for art installations, performances, and other activities.

"The Upside Down Table"



The halls at Prince Edward were filled with beautiful pieces of art provided by Arts Etobicoke, which were all created by local artisans. The LivingWell Centre was changed into a room of magnificent illusions and imagination. Every showpiece was inspired by the Prince Edward Team and showcased their individual creativity. 

Some of the most memorable pieces of art included “The Upside Down Table”, “Remotely Static”, “The After Party”, “The Poncho Without A Man”, “The Artist”, and “Interrupted Girl..Or Not”. Of all these displays, the residents connected and truly enjoyed taking their photos within a blank frame for the art piece titled, “Just Me”.

While residents explored the art exhibit, The Old Mill Pub provided an elegant retreat for residents to sit back and enjoy the sounds of smooth jazz with a glass of wine and the company of one another.

Both the presentation and Nuit Blanche were not only a day for the residents and team members of Prince Edward to enjoy art and creativity, but was also a day that brought laughter, and the opportunity to create new memories with great friends.
