Take a step from the busy street into a concrete alleyway, the traffic noises are suddenly muted by the buildings. And instead of the expected gray drab underworld, the alley bursts with color, energy, and creativity wherever you look.
Bombed with color and creativity —
Even garbage cans and metal doors are covered in layers of spray paint from countless artists. Some are just simple tags but if you look closer you will see the creativity hidden below.
Graffiti bombed —
Graffiti Alley is a three-block, one-kilometer-long stretch in downtown Toronto from Portland to Spadina, parallel to Queen Street. And it has been bombed with graffiti, end to end. Some of it is old school but many new-school artists are taking over. It’s a constantly changing canvas.
