Toronto's annual winter art exhibit, Window Wonderland, is making a comeback to the Junction for its fourth consecutive year. Running from November 24, 2023, to January 31, 2024, this urban art walk will convert the Junction into a free outdoor winter art gallery, showcasing 20 augmented reality (AR) window installations and five murals created by local and international artists.
Window Wonderland is running in collaboration with the Artivive app, which enhances visitor experiences with its AR capabilities. Individuals simply need to download the app, point their smartphones at the artwork, and witness it come to life. Additionally, to mark Window Wonderland's return, the Junction has teamed up with CORPUS, an award-winning dance company, for a special family-friendly performance titled 'The Alpine Merry Sheep Choir.' This heartwarming street performance features sheep singing Christmas carols and takes place on December 16th from 2 - 4 PM, starting at Heintzman St and Dundas Street W.
