ROGUE WAVE 2005

September 24 to November 20, 2005.

ROGUE WAVE EXPECTED TO HIT ISLAND AGAIN

2005 will see the sixth ROGUE WAVE exhibition mounted on the Toronto Islands. ROGUE WAVE was founded by four Island residents in the spring of 1998. Previously, ‘rogue’ art installations had appeared on the Island sporadically only to be removed by Parks Department staff. In response, knowing that artists wanted to install works outdoors on the Island, and in a community with an usually large number of visual artists, the ROGUE WAVE organization was formed to organize an annual exhibition of sculpture and installation art on the Toronto Islands. Since then, Toronto Arts Council funding support has allowed us to organize five exhibitions.

ROGUE WAVE 2005, Toronto Island's sixth outdoor exhibition of installation art will open on September 24 in conjunction with Toronto Arts Week and run to November 20, 2005. It will be open to the public 7 days a week, and maps at the ferry dock will provide the locations and names of the pieces for viewers. Extensive promotion will be done including inclusion in ArtsWeek event listings. An estimated 2,000 visitors will tour the exhibit.

Rogue Wave 2005 Exhibition open daily.

works of art are available for visitors at
