GORGE CURB APPEAL

Do you have a patch of lawn that’s crying out for a junk sculpture? How about a hedge that could benefit from a quirky trim? 

​

This July, a new event called Curb Appeal invites you to create an informal art installation in your yard, window or anywhere that’s visible from the street.  Running from July 1-14, the event will turn the neighbourhood into an amateur outdoor art gallery that can be explored independently and safely.  

​

Since the Canada Day Picnic is postponed again this year, the event will have a Canadian theme - but we’re asking you to go beyond the usual maple leaves and really let your creativity shine! How will you channel a favourite thing about Canada into a display? Some starting points include: a decorated fence or tree, sculpture, topiary/use of natural elements, creative light displays or dioramas. Dangle something small from a hook or festoon your entire house - anything goes! 

​

Please include a sign with the hashtag #gorgecurbappeal so we can track and share your installation on social media.
