LAF (Light Art Food)

Bloor Street Light, Art and Food Event
Nov. 21, 2009, 4pm to 8pm, Bloor Street from Lansdowne to Dufferin

LAF is a Light, Art and Food event with artists, stores and restaurant owners collaborating to turn Bloordale, Bloor Street, from Lansdowne to Dufferin, into a late-fall walking destination on cold, dark November 21. We invite you to participate. Artists are creating small nightlight sculptures for Bloordale streetlamps to light up Bloor Street. Retail stores are transforming their shop windows with light and art projects. A number of special events and exhibitions will be staged throughout Bloordale.  Restaurants are opening their kitchens to prepare taster menus at marginal cost – we encourage you to restaurant hop and try everything.
