Toronto Street Art and the Art of Walking

Toronto is a walking city.

As a bona fide downtown flaneur, jaywalker, occasional  jogger and pack-mule, I walk everywhere. My mother says I never sat still for long and was always exploring for inspiration and ideas. Cities have that effect. They draw people into their vibrant noise and creativity. Cities are a reflection of the mega-talented hit-makers, the stealth street artists, the anarchist experimenters.

 

Standing in line is not my thing, but in Toronto, I tend to meet the most interesting people. I prefer to move and if I can see some art along the way, even better.

Here’s a easy walking tour of Toronto’s indoor and outdoor art scene that can be done in a loop, and started from any point. Don’t worry, there are plenty of places to sit and take in some interesting people watching. Toronto has the best of both.
