''Sneakers x Artists''

Damien Hirst, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Peter Max, and Tom Sachs are some of the artists whose work will soon be on display at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, Canada. 

The show is called Artwear: Sneakers x Artists. It focuses on the relationship between art, fashion, and commerce. 

Elizabeth Semmelhack, Director and Senior Curator at the museum, says sneaker and artist collaborations are ''increasingly finding their way into conventional art venues.'' 

That even includes auction houses, with some ''elevated to a status similar to limited edition artist prints.''

The exhibition runs from the third of October through March 26, 2025. General admission is free on Sundays.
