Torontonians love their Graffiti Alley. And why shouldn’t they? It’s a long, narrow stretch of pavement brimming with colourful artisanship on either side.

But the artwork featured there is just a drop in the paint bucket of what the city has to offer. And with temperatures dropping, now is the perfect time to check it all out.

From cars to massive facades, the city acts as canvas to Toronto’s hundreds of artists.

Much of the graffiti goes beyond the art, making statements that are reflective of the moment.

Hidden around many corners, or under bridges, depictions of familiar characters can be found.

Being Toronto’s mascot, it should come as no surprise that raccoons make appearances throughout the city.

Under the right lighting, some of the art looks truly magical.
