About the organization
Ontario Place, opened in 1971 on Toronto's waterfront, was conceived as a bold experiment in public space, blending modernist architecture, leisure, and cultural programming. Over five decades, it has hosted exhibitions, performances, and festivals, including the annual Lumière: The Art of Light, which transforms the site with light-based installations. Its founding ethos—democratic access to art and recreation—continues to guide its mission as a platform for temporary, site-responsive works.
