Toronto done, auction done.

It didn’t go down without some drama. 

As it turns out, the UPS courier system is hardly top notch.  More than two thirds of the Art and Sole shoes were somehow misplaced in transit from Montreal to Toronto!  They’ve since been found, but the pre-show scrambling wasn’t able to turn up anything…  With some resourcefulness, and a last-minute print-shop favor, we were able to get large format photographs of each shoe printed and mounted in time for the party.

In spite of the shoes’ notable absence, the event went down in style.  With help from the great people at Red Bull 381 projects, the Art & Sole 2010 4 city tour came to a bustling close.  

The auction is down now too, and we’ll be announcing our charity donations once all of the shoes are shipped, proceeds are collected, and totals tallied.

For now, here are a few photos from the show, courtesy of BlogTO.com

Thanks to everyone who came out to the shows, bid on the shoes, or followed the project online.  An extra special thanks to all of the artists who participated, the energy and ideas in the work speak for themselves.
