第一,Graffiti Alley (这是最集中最出名的涂鸦艺术区。)
Also known as Rush Lane or Rick Mercer’s Alley: This motherlode of graffiti art (about a kilometre of space) runs west from Spadina Ave. to Portland St. The back alley entrance can be found between Queen St. and Richmond St. Some artery offshoots also run north or south from this alleyway.
第二,Kensington Market
This bohemian neighbourhood boasts colourful storefronts and murals that tell stories of its ethnic heritage. Even a computer dealer commissioned an Apple-like mural.
The Ossington Laneway
Take the Queen St. streetcar west from downtown to Ossington Ave., Toronto’s newest ‘hip strip.’ Hop off on the west side of Ossington to discover the back alley that runs between Queen and Humbert Streets. The art community has sprayed dozens of garage doors with different kinds of artwork, appreciated by the whole community.
第三,Ocho Hotel
(195 Spadina Ave., hotelocho.com): Banksy painted a mouse figure here on the outside brick of this new boutique hotel just steps from Graffiti Alley. Unfortunately, it’s been whitewashed, but go inside to see a picture of it and have a coffee or cocktail in the welcoming café/bar.
第四,The Keele-Dundas Wall
Riding the subway from downtown westward on the Bloor West Line, the train suddenly emerges into daylight between the Dundas West Station and the Keele Station. Look south to see a cornucopia of graffiti and street art painted onto the backs of a block of shops. “It puts a smile on my face every day,” said one commuter.
