Toronto Graffiti Street Art | Early October 2020 Urban Exploration Murals

Early October 2020 Urban Exploration Murals

Thanks for coming back !

These are most of my finds from Early October and some from late September. With COVID keeping everyone in the city – people have been exploring their own neighbourhoods and finding street art. When I first started exploring I was kinda nervous about going into back alleys.. aside from garbage, a few rats – it’s fun.

A lot of them have some of the best street art in the city.

Nick Sweetman Mural

From over three years ago.. this mural by Nick Sweetman was for Dreams festival. Surprised this one has lasted this long. He should repaint this one.

Stay Gold Murals

This location used to be Malabar’s costume rentals but now Stay Gold gym took over the space. They had Trevor Wheatley paint this mural in July

They painted the “Stay Gold’ themselves.

And I posted the Ben Johnston before

Lula Lounge Murals

Hard to believe it’s been 5 years since Fiya Bruxa, Shalak Attack and Bruno Smoky painted this wall outside of Lula Lounge.

Toronto Graffiti Street Art Found Here:

Rodrigo Ardiles Mural

Definitely an unsung hero ! Rodrigo Ardiles has been maintaining a lot of the murals for the Dundas West BIA – as well as organizing some of their events. I’ve run into him several times and he’s an interesting guy. Very creative !

Mony Zakhour Mural

This by Monyzak is apart of the Dundas West Museum.

Basically, this entire area has street art scattered around and anyone can explore. They have tours that you can arrange from their website.

“We offer personal tours of the Museum as a way to explore these spaces and learn more about the neighbourhood’s past and present. Tours are available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.”
To request a tour please email: tours@dundaswest.museum Tours must be booked in advance.
