Opening June 6 and running into 2025, Sephora’s Beauty at The Bentway transforms the undeveloped eastern edge of The Bentway Phase 1 site into something beautiful.
Experience stunning art by local artist Avril Wu and greenery by Toronto Plant Market, connect with your friends at a communal table, or just park your bike and take a breath while you explore Toronto.
Beauty at The Bentway was inspired by Clean and Planet Aware at Sephora, and is intended for community to come together and make more mindful choices—from how they move to the beauty products they use.
“What we’ve heard from local residents time and time again is that they’re looking for more open-air places to meet up with friends, to ’work-from-outdoors’, and to enjoy the rhythm of the city. We’re so thrilled to partner with Sephora in continuing our work to unlock new public spaces for Toronto – and we know that through its run into 2025, Beauty at The Bentway will really deliver for our community!”
David Carey – Co-Executive Director @ The Bentway
The largescale installation will be located directly east of The Bentway Skate Trail, across from June Callwood Park.
“Sephora’s beauty experience is deeply rooted in community. To celebrate and drive awareness of Sephora’s Clean and Planet Aware commitments, we were inspired to create something beautiful at The Bentway to foster a sense of belonging and to bring to life our commitment to doing good for people, the planet and the beauty industry.”
Allison Litzinger – SVP, Marketing at Sephora Canada
