This one looks good, I am a great admirer of street-art and this seems to be a natural marriage.

TORONTO.- On Saturday, December 13, 2008, the Institute for Contemporary Culture (ICC) at the Royal Ontario Museum presents Housepaint, Phase 2: Shelter, the first exhibition on the subject of street art in a major Canadian museum. Ten colourful canvas houses exuberantly painted by ten of Canada’s leading street artists draw attention to social problems of poverty and homelessness. In addition, over the course of the exhibition, five artists will respond to the previous installations by each creating a new work in the ICC’s Roloff Beny Gallery. Curated by Devon Ostrom of them.ca, Housepaint, Phase 2: Shelter will be on display until June 2009, when the canvas houses will be auctioned, with proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity Toronto, a charitable organization devoted to the elimination of poverty housing.
