Monday Mural

  I'm linking up at Monday Mural

June/August 2026 - Toronto

Artist Chairman Ting a Vancouver based, artist led studio which has a "unique and whimsical style". He painted a massive 27,000-square-foot mural installation inside the lower level pathways and closed sections of the former Hudson's Bay store connected to Toronto's underground PATH network. The vibrant artwork serves as a love letter to Toronto, featuring iconic local landmarks and cultural symbols.

The owners of that space, Cadillac Fairview, has provided temporary space for art to enhance the space. The temporary exhibition space is to feature young, emerging artists and is named ArtLaunch. That means that the art will change through 2026, so check it out before it is gone, then check out the new art.

Stretching over 30 kilometres, Toronto's massive underground pedestrian network, known as the PATH, can feel like a city itself.

Holy Cow - I didn't think it was as big as it was until I went back on August 12.

I took these photos on June 30.

Photos taken August 12.

Funny, with all the new signage, I came across two sets of tourists begging security officers to show them the way out.

I really is quite a maze. I was fascinated. Some areas are much more busy than others.

Upstairs, the bridge over Queen St. to the Eaton Centre is still open.

Back downstairs. I'm trying to leave, but I keep finding other alleys.
