Location: Railway underpass on Bloor between Dundas W. and Perth
Date photo taken: 19 April 2015
As part of GO Transit's Georgetown South improvements, the rail underpass on Bloor Street has been transformed with colour. Metrolinx and the city's StreetARToronto program worked together on the project, coming up with a short-list of artists and then consulting with the community before choosing the winning concept. The winning proposal, by Angel Carrillo, suggested the involvement of a large number of street artists, all working with aerosol paints. The north wall would be transformed into a showcase gallery, with each section of the wall being assigned to a different artist. In a similar manner, the south wall will feature the 26 letters of the alphabet, each interpreted by someone different. The north wall was painted over the weekend of April 18 & 19th. The south wall will be completed over a weekend in May.
