The Innisfil ideaLAB & Library invites you to visit local businesses this winter to discover artwork created by local artists in Simcoe County as part of Innisfil AI (artistic intelligence). Innisfil AI is a public art project that bridges creativity, technology, and local culture.
Ten artists were selected through a call for artists by a panel of jurors, and these artists brought to life prompts submitted by the community in their own unique styles.
We invite residents to pick up an information card at participating businesses, showcasing featured artwork and locations. Join the community in exploring these creative installations and celebrating local talent this winter!
