TD BANK x CULTUREMAKERS FOR ART BASEL WEEK

Dec 17

For this exclusive reception, TD Bank partnered with CultureMakers to produce, “The Art of Expression”, an exploration into what drives the creative mind. The main focus of the evening was a panel discussion of four diverse artists, interviewed by host Alisa Jacobs to seek out what inspires and drives their artwork. This event was part of “The Ready Commitment”, which is a pledge by TD Bank that focuses on making the world a better place, and finding ways to work towards a more inclusive and sustainable tomorrow. Part of “The Ready Commitment” involves investing in opportunities for diverse groups to come together, to create shared experiences, and to support arts and culture that reflect diverse voices. CultureMakers Founder, Rashaad Lambert had a vision to create a lush, fantasy-like and artistic environment, and that is exactly what The Temple House team delivered. Designed by The Temple House and United Projection, the main theme of the night was “growth”, which was reflected in all of the magnificent green and organic design and décor. During the panel discussion, collages of the artist artwork were projected on a towering 360 canvas, which made for an outstanding display. After the panel the thematic elements of lush growth were projected for the cocktail hour, and when the DJ started, the visuals switched to colorful thematic visuals.
