Tino's top 10 (In no particular order)
Art hits the Street in 2006: While most art stays indoors I think we need to celebrate public art equally. This year was an especially fascinating and inspiring year for public art.
1. Best Street Art
Toronto's StreetArt Crews and Guerrilla artists (Stencils & PasteUps) Join the Street Art Scanvenger Hunt.
Toronto Stencil Art Archive (Highlight)
Toronto PasteUps Art Archive (Highlight)
Another link with more excellent Toronto Street ART work documented ... http://flickr.com/groups/torontograffiti/
2. Best Community Art Project
Inspiring and likely the most photographed art object in Toronto last year was the Kensington Community Car Project (since then it has been removed) http://photo.tino.ca/junkflower/

3. Best Public Space Performance Art
Who had the most fun doing public performance art in 2006? NewMindSpace

4. Best Public Community Event meets performance Art
Toronto PUblic Space Committee's Human River (TPSC)
We are the river - The river is us

5. Last year for Splice This!
Nine years of astounding film and passion and art... http://www.splicethis.com/photowall.php

6. Crosswalk - Paulette Phillips
Lovely video art of people crossing a downtown street while constantly looking into the camera. (Currently at the Power Plant as part of the exhibition We Can Do This Now) http://www.thepowerplant.org/current.html

7. Luis Jacob & Amos Lattier
Public Art so good it made City Hall squirm in their seats ... Pigeon Condo "If you had wings, you'd be home by now" http://pigeoncondo.com/

8. Michael Brown's 'Harbourfront Graffiti Transformation Projects'
Empty walls say nothing. Michael and his crew do something about it with consistently beautiful and deeply meaningful results. http://www.miguelmarron.com/communityart.htm

9. Bicycle Polo - Royal Society of Adventurerology
Activism meets performance art meets campy fun in downtown park. The revolution will not be motorized. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSdpqcBqcyE

10. The Clever Street Art Award
Recently, The Star, a newspaper in Toronto did a fashion layout using some of Poster Child's posters as a background. To let them know that he was watching, he put the model up on the same wall as a stencil in the same scale as the photograph. http://www.woostercollective.com/2006/10/stencil_to_newspaper_to_stencil.html
