Made out of crystal clear resin layered around a silicone mold of Simon Vermeulen’s demi-pointed foot, these two shoes are each separated in equal halves closing onto each other. They originated from the desire to portray the dark side and imprisonment of Cinderella’s magnificent glass slippers, 2013.

These Glass Shoes are featured in the major independent film ‘Der Untermensch’: Staged against minimalist backdrops and accompanied by a hypnotic original score, this highly cinematic contemporary dance film abstractly depicts the persecution of homosexuals at the hands of the Third Reich.

It was nominated for Best Canadian Short Film at Toronto International Film Festival’s 2013 edition and was screened in many festivals around the world, including Cannes.

These simple little smiley faces are the work of Nicenothings, an artist who prefers to remain anonymous and let his work speak for itself. "I just focus on facial features," he says. "I don't know why. I think there's something super interesting about that."

For the Culture Days 2020, participants were invited to watch the Pflag Halton + Arts Milton mural being painted onsite by artist JR Marr. The mural contributes to the beautification of Downtown Milton and offers a message of pride, inclusivity, and diversity – values central to Pflag and the work they do as an LGBTQ2S support organization. According to Marr, “In much of my work I am drawn to colour, but the colours in this work are representative of pride.” Passersby are encouraged to take a photo of themselves with the work and use the hashtag #MiltonForAll.

A series of light shows appears nightly on the eight storey façade of 137 Yonge Street, south of Richmond Street, in Toronto. Digitized images of the artist’s own paintings are used to create multi-coloured waterfalls cascading down the 6,500 square foot Colour Kinetics LED display after dark.
