When it comes to street art, Rush Lane’s Graffiti Alley is an impressive and popular section. Tourists and locals give props to this colourful, energetic space.
Makes Sense.
This alleyway in the Queen West area encapsulates some of the world’s best pieces; its towering, cracked walls are given life, thanks to artists such as Elicser Elliott, Uber5000, Shalak Attack and Anser. Even Bansky has been known to make his mark.
But don’t discount Toronto’s other obscure alleyways, once dingy and sketchy, but now vibrant, alfresco galleries.
Prime Example?
Little Portugal’s Dundas St West location between Dovercourt and Brock.
This barely talked about, little lane doesn’t hold a trendy popularity like its brethren Graffiti Alley or Ossington Lane. And tourists have a hard time unearthing its existence.
With a constant flow of street artists revealing themselves, we’re thankful that many hidden parts of our city become canvases, each worth checking out.
