Streets Alive! Doors of Downtown Orillia
Celebrating outdoor art and creativity, Orillia area artists have repurposed old doors that are now on display (until October 12, 2015) on the city's main downtown street (Mississauga Street).
"If You Are A Dreamer" by David Giannunzio and Erin Demery
This is one of the doors. I will post a few others later.
The door is open
Written on the door:
If you are a dreamer come in
If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar
A hoper a prayer a magic bean buyer
If you're a pretender come sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin
Come in!
Come in!
~Shel Silverstein

Really great concept.
Now this looks interesting. I was wondering if the books are real adn then if they were what happens if it rains? Looking forward to seeing more.
This is right up my street. Up your street really. Let us see some more please.

That's fantastic, very clever idea..
Open door. Open book. Neat!
Very interesting and creative door!

I love stuff like this. I'm looking forward to more doors.
Awesome and original.
What a cool sculpture and door. I love the poem too. Creative artwork! Have a happy day and new week ahead!
That's a door I would happily walk through, what an amazing concept.
Hope you have a fabulous week!
How creative, I love that!
What a perfectly brilliant analogy! Books are like doors and windows opening us up to what oftentimes are new and imaginative worlds of the writers.
Really neat. Like Margaret, my first thought was I hope it doesn't rain!
I'm like Yogi and the others, I love things like this!! Really terrific and, of course, your captures are terrific as always!! Hope your week is off to a great start!! Enjoy!!
I like it, though as with all the best pieces of art I'd be hard put to tell you why. It seems to have captured the attention of the passers by.
Very cool, EG!
the door art is beautiful and very creative. but the books look real so what happens when it rains?
An excellent idea!
This is a wonderful, creative piece - I love it.
I love street festivals in general.
Nice find, Tina - can't wait to see the rest.
Have a Wonderful Week!
Peace :)
Quite a concept!
That is a neat creation. I like it.
This totally rocks, so very cool!
Love this idea! One of my old colleagues lives in Orillia. I can't believe she used to drive at least twice a week all the way to Oakville. So far!!!
Being a book lover, I love this! Very clever.
I am....

I'd love to come across this in everyday life. No longer a door, a little library?
This is so remarkable! The talent and vision some people have is amazing. Looking forward to seeing more!!
I would enter that door for sure! Very creative.
I love this! (And I also find myself wanting to look at the titles of all the books used in it. I guess book browsing knows no bounds.) I'm looking forward to seeing other interpretations.
Incredibly creative. I love the books too.
Worth a Thousand Words
That is a very unique piece of art. I know one young friend of mine who would love it.
Now that's an original door - I like it.
Oh, I love this one...love what it says on the door. Love all the books.
I love it!
are those real books? I love the door. Guess it means that books are doorways to everywhere. Be it to outer space, to ancient time or some fantasy land
Wonderful art - and a fabulous poem!

Absolutely cool, and such a wonderful way to illustrate Shel Silverstein's poetry.
Oh this is wonderful you have shared.
It has caught everyone's eyes.
Thanks for sharing. Got More to share?
That is so cool!
I would like this door in my house. :-)
Take 25 to Hollister
Wonderful idea!
Wonderful, EG. There is a reason some people become artists and I became a lawyer.
I had to come over and see the one you mentioned today. This one is fantastic!
