The acclaimed art competition is bringing a temporary installation to St. Clair Square, offering residents access to creative works away from the waterfront.
Winter Stations, the internationally recognized art and design competition in Toronto, is expanding its footprint this season with a temporary offsite installation at St. Clair Square, as blogTO first reported. The move is intended to bring the event's creative experimentation to new audiences and neighborhoods.
According to blogTO, Jessica Myers, a Senior Account Manager at kg&a, stated that the partnership with St. Clair Square aligns the event's tradition of art with the square's goals of promoting discovery, growth, and learning. The offsite exhibition will feature six total installations. Among these are five returning pieces from previous seasons: "A Kaleidoscopic Odyssey" (2024), "Solair" (2025), "Embrace" (2026), "Conrad" (2023), and "Parade" (2025).
The sixth installation is a new collaboration with Upper Canada College (UCC), which allows a group of young designers to create an original piece for the event, blogTO reports.
While the event is expanding to Yonge and St. Clair, the annual winter edition continues to be based at its original home in the Beaches on the city's waterfront. Myers confirmed to blogTO that the organizers are currently selecting installations for 2027 under the theme "Monument."
Toronto residents can visit the Winter Stations installation at St. Clair Square starting November 21, with the exhibition running through February 2027.
