#FIRSTLOOK: RCHIVE AND SCORPION DAGGER AT YORKVILLE MURALS 2026

Yorkville Murals is set to take place later this month in the City’s most glamorous district! RCHIVE will be playing a big part of the event.

RCHIVE, Toronto’s multidisciplinary fashion and creative platform for the next generation of designers, artists and cultural innovators, will transform Yorkville into a live fashion studio at Yorkville Murals (YVM) on August 22–23, 2026. Across both festival days, emerging designers Zoe Stone, Alexander Nicholson and Maya Ali will create original avant-garde collections in real time. On Saturday, each designer will create a conceptual menswear look, followed by a conceptual womenswear look on Sunday. The completed garments will be installed throughout Yorkville as sculptural public artworks, blurring the boundaries between fashion, performance, and installation. YVM returns August 22–23, 2026, and will welcome more than 70,000 visitors to discover internationally acclaimed artists, emerging creative voices, monumental public art, and live cultural experiences.

SCORPION DAGGER will be among the Artists featured at Yorkville Murals. More on him.

Montreal-based visual artist Scorpion Dagger is bringing his cinematic meets pop-culture work to life at this year’s Yorkville Murals from Aug 22-23, 2026 through a free, open-air installation presented by Anker.

Projected using Anker’s Nebula X1 Pro, the installation translates Scorpion Dagger’s distinctive moving artwork into a large-scale public experience in the heart of Toronto. It taps into the growing appetite for immersive projection art but takes it out of ticketed indoor venues and puts it directly on the street, free and accessible throughout the weekend.

The technology is part of the story. Starting at $6,000 CAD, the consumer-grade Nebula X1 Pro can deliver an experience typically associated with large commercial installation systems, significantly lowering the barrier to outdoor projection art for artists and audiences alike.

Anker will also serve as Yorkville Murals’ official charging partner, with designated stations where visitors can power their phones and devices. The partnership is part of Anker’s Summer Connection campaign, which celebrates technology that keeps Canadians connected through the moments that define summer from patios and cottage weekends to camping trips and arts festivals.
