Lavazza IncluCity Presents '6ix Art Outdoor Exhibit' Launch Cocktail
The festival celebrates artistic excellence and multicultural promotion in Toronto
Gourmet tastings and open bar to celebrate the kick-off of the exhibition at The Distillery District
TORONTO, June 29, 2022 /CNW/ - The Lavazza IncluCity Festival, organized by ICFF, is proud to present a free-of-charge art exhibit, titled 6ix Art Outdoor, taking place for three weeks from June 30th to July 17th at The Distillery Historic District. Kicking off on Thursday, June 30th, fourteen 8ft-tall statues will be on exhibit along Gristmill Lane showcasing the outstanding artistic talents in Toronto and the GTA. The exhibition is made possible thanks to the support of RBC, Hamptonstone and Tridel.
Mara Cataldi, the Curator of 6ix Art Outdoor, says, "The 6ix Art Outdoor will serve as a public space with the goal of fostering intercultural and multicultural dialogue by promoting a more active engagement and awareness within the communities through the use of visual art. This exhibit embraces the value of heritage showcased not only through the human-shape statue but, most importantly, through artists and the cultural richness they embody: stories, ideas, emotions, desires, dreams, and hopes."
Tomorrow, on Thursday, June 30, 2022, the ICFF is thrilled to host a special launch cocktail for media at The Distillery District. The cocktail will offer open bar sponsored by Campari and Masi Wine, gourmet tastings and the opportunity to meet the creators behind each statue.
