Yorkville Murals

The ritzy neighborhood of Yorkville was taken over by art for the August 24 to 25, 2024 weekend. Beautiful weather is back in the Six so why not enjoy something outdoors in Toronto. YVM, or Yorkville Murals promises no empty spaces as the event takes place along Yorkville Avenue between Bellair Street and Hazelton Avenue.

Also very cool is the art installation down deep in the mostly unused, post apocalyptic lower Bay ttc subway station. Believe it or not this is the first time I have been deep in the bowels of this particular station, often used in movies, because it is usually too busy during nuit blanche and other events.

When you look up at a certain parking structure you can see a purple inflatable spelling out RELAX. It is on the fourth floor and I think they are having an after party up there as well. Plus there is an additional installation of orange arches up there.

From YVM's website "Toronto’s most captivating art and muralism festival returns August 24-25th with a second iteration of the theme No Empty Spaces. Celebrating its sixth year of the festival, Yorkville Murals will transform the street into a cultural extravaganza, where visitors will be entertained with every step. Yorkville Murals will deliver participatory entertainment and play. Through captivating murals, inflatables, art installations, live painting, art talks, music, dance battles, pop-up shops and an evening block party, culture lovers will want to come back daily to experience the fun."
