Every summer, the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair<\/a> transforms Nathan Phillips Square into a vast landscape of contemporary creation. <\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Over four hundred artists present their works there, making the fair a true open-air laboratory where emerging practices, established approaches, and spontaneous conversations intersect.<\/p>\n

For Le Labo, this fl\u00e2nerie has become an end-of-season tradition. Rather than a guided tour in the traditional sense, Le Labo offers a collective walk where observation, curiosity, and exchanges take precedence over a fixed itinerary. <\/p>


<\/p>\n

Accompanied by Dyana Ouvrard, exhibition curator and Executive and Artistic Director of Le Labo, participants will be invited to slow down, take the time to observe, and linger over a few selected works along the way. The selection will particularly highlight Francophone artists or those whose practice resonates with Le Labo’s topics: territory, memory, materiality, experimentation, and relationships with public space. <\/p>


<\/p>\n

Encounters, detours, and even chance will be an integral part of the experience. A discussion with an artist, a work spotted around a corner, or a shared intuition could alter the path. <\/p>\n

Bring your water bottle, hat, and curiosity. For the rest, we will let the artworks\u2026 and the encounters guide us. <\/p>

About the Curator<\/h2>

Dyana Ouvrard<\/h2>

Dyana Ouvrard is the Executive and Artistic Director of Le Labo, a Francophone artist-run centre in Toronto dedicated to media arts. With a background in geography and performing arts administration in Paris (France), she has been active in the visual arts in Ontario since 2015 and develops a curatorial practice focused on territory, walking, and slowing down. She recently co-curated Distance<\/span><\/i> (Art Windsor-Essex, 2025) and led projects such as <\/span>6 degrees, narrative territories<\/span><\/i> (Nuit Blanche Toronto, 2023) and <\/span>Cartographic Deviations<\/span><\/i> (Voix Visuelle, 2025). She also pursues research on landscape, listening, and eco-responsibility, paying particular attention to the creation of welcoming and accessible spaces, inspired by the “micro” and the DIY spirit.<\/span> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
