Bloordale Beach was a symbolic beach created on a vacant gravel lot in Toronto during the COVID-19 pandemic. Located near Bloor and Dufferin streets, it became a beloved local spot, despite being far from any real beach. The art exhibit at Urbanspace Gallery revives memories of the beach through videos, audio recordings, and beach-themed artifacts. Shari Kasman, the artist behind the idea, noted the importance of joy during trying times and how the beach emerged from a desire to create a fun and lively atmosphere in the urban environment.
The exhibit features video and audio recordings and articles about the beach, beach ephemera, beach chairs and even beach balls, capturing the Bloordale Beach vibe.
Bloordale Beach was a spot loved by the community, created on a vacant gravel lot during the COVID-19 pandemic to bring joy in difficult times.
