Arts Etobicoke and Lakeshore Arts launched Art on the Move on Monday in the Distillery District.

Art on the Move is a three-year project that paired Toronto vehicle owners (public, private, and not-for-profit) with visual artists and together they conceptualize creative concepts that community groups brought to life.

Torontonians should keep an eye out on the streets... for vehicles that have been given a large dose of community-driven artistic flare.

What is it about the beat of a drum that unites cultures from all over the world? At the Muhtadi International Drumming Festival held this past weekend (June 6 and 7) at Queen's Park, drum troupes from all over the world from, North America to Central America to Africa to Asia, came to celebrate the drum and to answer just that.

"The drum is a base of a lot of cultural expressions," says Tasha Thomas, the executive director of the Muhtadi Festival. "It takes different forms and it's used in different fashions, but almost every culture has a national drum or an instrument similar to the drum or percussive in some way."
