Public Sweat

Presented by Art Spin at Harbourfront Centre, North East Grounds

Be invigorated by heat and social connections at this unique community experience. Come prepared to bask inside artist-designed saunas and sweat bathing structures, rotate through thermal cycles, and explore numerous artworks, as you rejuvenate.

You are invited to immerse yourself in our art and sauna village, to share in the values of self-care and community care upon which this event, and many sweat bathing cultures, are built.​​

Public Sweat is the latest project from the team at Art Spin, who combine exceptional art and unique experiences in unexpected public spaces.

Come sweat with us.
