The Durham West Arts Centre is taking art into local businesses to give artists more exposure through its new ‘Art To Go’ show that started recently. More than 20 artists are displaying their works for a year in nine different Durham Region locations. Each host displays two or three works at a time, and dedicated drivers move the pieces from location to location every two months. The show gives viewers a way to offer feedback on the art at each host site. There will be a binder showing the works in the travelling show, providing artist contact information as well as space for written comments. For more information, call the centre at 905-686-7697 or go online to www.dwac. ca for a preview of some of the images.
