Toronto Street Art Map

The City of Toronto has created an interactive web map of street art projects in Toronto. From their website:

Toronto is home to some of the best mural, street and graffiti artists and art in the world. These artists and artworks have transformed Toronto's public streets, laneways and parks into a city-wide art gallery!

This map based app will help you explore the amazing street art located throughout the city. The current database provides a sampling of murals created as part of the StreetARToronto suite of programs from 2012 to 2018. In addition to identifying the artist and arts organization responsible for painting the mural the database describes the stories and themes behind each unique and beautiful artwork. Individually and collectively these murals are designed to celebrate the City of Toronto motto "Diversity Our Strength" and foster a greater sense of belonging among all.

Filters allow you to search by any combination of Year and/or Ward. Additional filters will be installed and the database is being updated regularly to add more artwork, so check back often!

This is very cool and works well both on my computer and phone. I expect to be using it quite a bit when we're exploring Toronto (once the temperature goes up to something closer to supporting human life). I did notice immediately the paucity of street art in the financial core and dowtown.

Thanks to Mobile Syrup for the tip and review.
