Lead Writer, Travel

Yet another extraordinary art exhibit is coming to Toronto, and this time, you can step into the world of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Frida: Immersive Dream is brought to life by Lighthouse Immersive, the same people behind shows like Immersive Van Gogh, and it will open in the city on March 31, 2022.

The exhibit will transform a massive warehouse into a dazzling spectacle of lights and colour. The walls will crawl with projections of Kahlo's renowned work.
