Saskatoon Transit Buses Again Become Mobile Art Galleries

Saskatoon Transit has again partnered with PAVED Arts to feature photographs on City buses. The Toon’s on Transit Exhibition will feature a selection of 50 photos taken by local artists. These images are on display on 100 Saskatoon Transit buses through January 2017.  

“We are very excited to be a part of this unique showcase for another year,” says Michael Moellenbeck, Operations Manager for Saskatoon Transit. “The amazing images showcased on our Saskatoon Transit buses really highlight the diversity and beauty of our city. This project is a great fit for us because it enhances the transit experience for our customers and gives talented local artists an avenue to display their work.”

The Toon’s on Transit Exhibition is made possible through a unique partnership between Saskatoon Transit and PAVED Arts. The photos appearing on Saskatoon Transit buses were selected by a panel of judges from PAVED Arts with the goal of reflecting the City of Saskatoon through the eyes of its residents.

“We had such positive response to this exhibit last year and we are very excited to expand our reach even more this year,” says Alex Rogalski, Executive Director of PAVED Arts. “With even more photographs on Saskatoon Transit we are able to really see the power of this exhibit. Art and photography can bring a city together and these photos do just that by being available for viewing by everyone on buses across the city."

In addition to the photographs being available on 100 buses, there will also be a bus dedicated to the exhibit. This bus will act as a true mobile art gallery showcasing work from nine different artists and the different perspectives of Saskatoon that their photographs capture.
