Iain Baxter & Ecoartvan

No.9 and The Art Gallery of Ontario partnered with the Toronto District School Board’s Model Schools for Inner Cities, the Toronto Public Library, and WWF-Canada to bring contemporary art and environmental education to 10,000 inner-city elementary students across the GTA.

In collaboration with internationally-recognized Canadian artist IAIN BAXTER&, the IAIN BAXTER& ECOARTVAN hits the streets of Toronto visiting 25 of the TDSB’s Model Schools for Inner Cities and eight local libraries.

No.9’s mission is to introduce a new generation to the power of contemporary art and its ability to stimulate awareness and positive social and environmental change. The IAIN BAXTER& ECOARTVAN is a glassed-in cube van running on biodiesel fuel, which will display a new, No.9-commissioned installation by BAXTER&, who will transform the cube van into a travelling museum featuring artwork inspired by his long-standing interest in the environment.
