SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust Summertime in Vaughan just got bolder, brighter and a lot more animated, with the official unveiling of ArtWalk, SmartCentres' new art district within SmartVMC, the 100-acre master planned city centre in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. The ArtWalk Murals: SmartCentres collaborated with renowned LNDMRK, the art agency responsible for Montreal's MURAL festival, to transform a vacant warehouse at 101 Edgeley Blvd into a breathtaking work of art. Four acclaimed and emerging artists were curated to each design and paint one façade of the building. The ArtWalk murals were painted over a three-week period in June, using more than 300 gallons and 1,000 cans of paint to complete the 30,000 sq. ft. canvas. Free Drive-In Movies: Starting July 10th, SmartCentres launched a bi-weekly series of free drive-in movies to compliment the ArtWalk murals. The outdoor theatre runs every Thursday and Saturday evening through September, screening a variety of cult classic and family-favourite movies, in a safe and fun environment. Food Truck Market: Rounding out ArtWalk's summer activations, SmartCentres has engaged Street Eats to set up a food truck market on site. From authentic Latin tacos, to BeaverTails, to Toronto's "OG" mac n' cheese truck, the market has something for every palate, with more vendors that have yet to be announced. ArtWalk Street Eats is open daily at 101 Edgeley Blvd in SmartVMC, from 12pm to 8pm. The hours extend to 10pm on drive-in movie nights. ArtWalk is the next phase of growth; the new art district in the heart of SmartVMC’s 100-acre development. This summer’s ArtWalk activations set the tone for the district’s art-inspired mixed-use development, inclusive of Hariri Pontarini-designed condominiums, commercial, retail and coworking space, open greenspace, and public amenities. This development will overlook SmartVMC’s nine-acre central park, which is scheduled to break ground later this year.
