Public Art and Sculpture in Downtown Toronto – Photo Walk Tour on April 5, 2025

This meetup is for photographers, fans of art and city explorers. All are welcome. Our focus is on art, culture, history, and particularly the photography of public art and sculpture in downtown Toronto. The walk takes place before sunset and will last approximately 2.5 hours. We limit the group to a max. of 12 people.

On this walk through Toronto downtown we look at some amazing public art, installation and sculpture. We also discuss aspects like street art, and architecture both classic and modern. This tour is led by Mike Simpson, avid photographer, art curator and urban wanderer. (Mike is the founder of Tdot Shots).

Some highlights of the walk:
