Yue Moon 完滿: Tiger With Wings 如虎添翼
︎ Chinatown BIA & STEPS Public Art
︎ Community-engaged Arts & Multimedia Public Art Program
︎ Toronto, ON
︎ December - March 2022
完滿 (Yue Moon) translates to "full circle," "completion," or "full moon." Beginning in 2020, the Chinatown BIA and lead artists developed a unique public art program to build community and raise awareness of local businesses in Toronto’s Chinatown. This initiative led to the creation of Yue Moon 2020 and two distinct projects for Yue Moon 2021: Yue Moon II / 圓滿:貳 and the award-winning Yue Moon: Animated Light / 圓滿:舞動.
In its third year, Yue Moon 完滿 continues to unite people for a luminous experience of public art—a creative escape from the darkness and cold of winter. Led by artists PUFF Paddy and Meegan Lim during challenging times, the program culminated in a public art exhibit that animated the streets of Toronto’s Chinatown through February 2022, coinciding with Lunar New Year celebrations.
