I went to College Park in search of a CONTACT Photography Festival exhibit. To me, College Park has always been a place where people pass through on their way to somewhere else. If they linger it’s to grab a bite to eat from the food court or from the grocery store.
I’ve never spent much time looking around inside so I wandered around a bit. I couldn’t find any space/place where there might be a photo exhibit.
I found a small group of paintings by Divyani Chandorkar in a small, out of the way corner by an elevator. Interesting, but not what I was after.
After a chat with a security guard and a little more walking around, I discovered that the photos were being displayed outside! They are in a public space immediately south of the College Park building- between the College Park and Aura buildings. Here, they become part of the environment.

Love the bunny! Is the exhibit still on?
Until the end of May!
HI Mary, Thanks for this. I walk through this several times a week, on my way to the gym (Planet Fitness). Another part of College Park that you might like (with some interesting photos) is the lobby of 21 College Street. That’s where the western elevators are located. (There were two sets of elevators for Eaton’s College Street.) There is a very large photo of what the Eaton’s complex would have looked like if they had completed the original project plus others of interest. Have a great day.
Thank you for your comments…. and for the suggestion re the old Eatons College Street elevators. Shall keep that in mind for the next time that I am in the area.
