Dylan Toymaker is a light design and installation artist in Edmonton, Alberta.
He creates and curates art for the Flying Canoe Volant festival, and designs and builds Lantern installations for a variety of Alberta festivals including the Edmonton Folk Music Festival and the Jasper Dark Sky Festival.
He began his art career in the Craft world while getting a BA in Anthropology in the mid 90s, and took that Craft Production around the continent with major stops in Toronto, Vancouver, Nelson, Tucson, New Orleans, and New York. He now works to create culture with community and event based art.
Placemaking and wayfinding have been a major part of that process, with monumental structures and lantern systems at the core.
