DailyFlag for DailyBread

DailyFlag for DailyBread is a community art installation by the residents of Leuty and Violet Avenues in The Beach neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The installation is motivated by the season of Advent. 32 familiesincreased for 2012 from the previous traditional 24 advent openings design, make and fly advent flags to be auctioned online. The money goes to charity. The project objective is to raise money for the city's Daily Bread Food Bank Holiday Drive.
Flag design and auction
Each house is assigned one number that they interpret into a flag design. They then make and hang their flag outside their house from the corresponding day in December (eg, number 15 on December 15th) until the last day of the project on January 12th. The DFFDB website maps out the daily flag unveilings to encourage friends, family and the public to come and view the flags on a regular basis.
The flags are photographed and published daily on the DFFDB website, with a description of the materials used and thoughts from the creators on what they wanted to relay. All monies raised are donated to Toronto's Daily Bread Food Bank.
