September 2021 - Milton ON

Just outside Toronto is the Halton County Radical Railway Museum. 

In September 2019 when the TTC were retiring the last of their old model streetcars, a group of artists created A Streetcar Named Toronto. They revamped a TTC Canadian Light Rail Vehicle (CLRV). They hand-painted and decorated it as part of celebrations for the retirement of the 40-year-old fleet.

Unfortunately we couldn't go inside.

Several local artists were selected to transform streetcar #4178, with Jacquie Comrie painting the exterior of the vehicle using a variety of paints and full-spectrum palettes, including neons and glow-in-the-dark paint, making it visible to everyone at night.

The interior featured art activations by Nicole Beno, Ryan Van der Hout, and Chris Perez, along with textile and lighting modifications by Suanne McGregor.

October 2019 - Toronto ON

Also in this lane is an Elicser piece.

#WallExpressions 2019 in collaboration with START, StreetArt Toronto transported twelve garages in the Alan Powell Lane, off Harbord.
I have marked the ones that were done in 2017.

When possible, I have identified the artist. By clicking on the labels/tags below this post you can see other works by these artists.


Alan Powell was a University of Toronto professor, social activist and promoter of the arts in Canada.

MURAL UPDATE

We saw this in progress in July, by Jim Bravo.

Then completed in August.

This replaced a mural I had used as a blog header, and I can't find the original photo.
