Shops, restaurants and art in Chinatown Remixed in 2010

Annual festival of art hidden in urban settings

On Saturday, May 8, stores, restaurants and grocery stores opened their doors to art, artists and art seekers for the second Chinatown Remixed art show.

Despite a day of rain and chilly temperatures, people descended upon Chinatown to discover art hidden in unusual surroundings — above shopping carts, alongside cans of beans, above diners in restaurants, along the street and in stores that you never knew were there.

Chinatown Remixed runs for one month until June 8. For further information, download maps of selected galleries are available at ottawachinatown.ca
