On your private street art tour, you will:
The emergence of the Toronto graffiti movement can be traced back to the late 1980s, but in the last decades, it became a true cultural phenomenon.
The public perception of street art evolved from being seen as vandalism to being recognized as a legitimate art form, a change that the city of Toronto embraced and supported with street art festivals, guided tours, and public art programs.
These public art programs involve a designated panel that determines the artistic merit of a design to remain in its current location, and the city facilitates the collaboration between building owners and the artists by offering commissioned work opportunities and maintaining a directory of graffiti artists.
Numerous pieces can be found in various outdoor areas and alleyways throughout the city, transforming it into an open-air museum which reflects the diversity of cultures present in the city, making it a very distinctive kind of artwork.
From Kensington Market, enjoy a walk to the Graffiti Alley in the Fashion District, where any expression of art is encouraged and celebrated, with a narrow alleyway stretching from Spadina Avenue to Portland Street and featuring ever-changing graffiti and street art from local and international artists.
Take your time to explore the alley and snap some photos of the vibrant artwork.
