YOU CAN'T PARK HERE
YOU CAN'T PARK HERE
$13,473 worth
of tickets
This art project was borne out of a common frustration with receiving parking tickets. I collected over 200 tickets from people all around Toronto and created this 60” x 48’” art piece.
I premiered it at a pop-up market on Queen St W and then was approached by a gift shop in Kensington Market to display it there for a few months.
Below is the social media campaign - used loosely here - that I did for this artwork.
Social media
Created a personal social media campaign to create traction and grab attention for the project. The project went viral on TikTok and created a buzz that attracted people to come see the piece at the Toronto Night Market pop up. Custom “parking ticket” business cards were given to everyone who came to the show to explain more about the project.
The project created over 3 million views on my TikTok account (@marlena.creates) which was fun to see how this project brought people together and the communal power of art.
