This project is part of I HeART Main Street, a program supporting Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) with the support they need to activate their main streets through public art and placemaking. This program engages BIAs, local artists and businesses across Ontario to create more vibrant and safe communities.
Project Type: Temporary Exhibit
Artist: Enna Kim
Artist Statement: The window activation for Mephisto depicts a diverse group of people wearing a variety of different shoes. This is set against a holiday themed background, meant to capture the winter spirit while also showing the range of designer and everyday footwear that the store has to offer.
