Description

Discover the vibrant street art scene of Toronto on a guided tour of the College West and Dundas West area. Learn about the history of the area and the techniques used by the artists as you explore the neighborhood. Meet your guide in the less-visited and non-touristy College West and Dundas West area, starting on the edge of Little Portugal. Over the years, the Dundas West area has transformed into the city's premier urban art corridor. Through the creation of municipal and non-profit organizations, private sponsors, and much more guerrilla art, this sector has become a leader in Toronto's urban art scene. See local and international artists and learn about the techniques and the meaning of the creations. See different styles from wheat pastes, yarn bombing, sticker art to more classic and commonly used painting techniques and graffiti in the district. It’s a zigzag walk through the streets and alleys with a knowledgeable local street artist and guide. The neighborhood is an outdoor art gallery that you can continue to explore on your own, with a list of recommendations for the best restaurants, bars, and galleries in Toronto on hand.
