VoCA recommends…Zone A

The curated projects in Zone A (Yorkville and surrounding area) should be fantastic this year. Curated by Rhonda Corvese, who won the Untitled Art Award for Emerging Curator last year, the zone includes pieces off Yonge Street, in Yorkville and around King’s College and the University of Toronto.
