Winners of the 2017 Winter Stations Design Competition are on display at the Beaches from February 20th - March 27, 2017. Eight art installations are located along the beachfront with this year's theme of "Catalyst : Converting one form or substance into another." The competition organizers saw the theme as representing several notions of change and being especially fitting for the 2017 social, political and cultural climate. Competitors were asked to design installations that would embody change by stimulating reconsideration of Toronto's waterfront and by being more ecologically friendly.

Explorers can also download the TO Ice Breakers app on Apple and Android to not only help them locate the art displays but also add to their experience by accessing more information about the art & artists and voting on their favourite installations.
