Organized by Artify curator, Susan L. Brown, the exhibit will demonstrate the rich variety of artistic perspectives and photographic techniques encompassed by artists Yousuf Afridi, Jason Brown, Alan Dunlop, Horst Herget, Bradley Lipton and Bohdan Vandiak.

The face of Toronto has been changing rapidly since the middle of the last century. Snapshots of areas like the Danforth, Queen West, Forest Hill, the West Donlands or Yonge and Eglinton, including the streets and people inhabiting them, would appear very different now, compared to a century ago. Face to Place photo-artists capture these changes at various stages of the city’s existence through their own unique vision and provide us with multiple approaches to building awareness of our evolving urban and social history.

The exhibit will feature large and small format photographs, ranging in technique from Herget’s historical, intimate tin-type images to Lipton’s more abstract, larger format black and white panels. Over forty photo images will span genres, from portraiture to landscape, and illustrate subjects like urban development and homelessness. The works on exhibit along with an annotated exhibition catalogue will be on sale.
