In the spirit of ArtworxTO: Toronto’s Year of Public Art 2021 – 2022, the six LASOs are inviting you to explore and enjoy the incredible art found in neighbourhoods outside the downtown core. We’ve partnered with artists, local businesses, restaurants, and more to create exciting art experiences complete with live performances, artist talks, walking tours, workshops, and community celebrations. Be sure to check out our map and events page frequently as we are adding new events every month.

What are you waiting for? Explore your city through public art!

Local Discoveries received grant funding as part of ArtworxTO: Toronto’s Year of Public Art 2021–2022, a year-long celebration of Toronto’s exceptional public art collection and the creative community behind it. Working closely with artists and Toronto’s arts institutions, ArtworxTO will deliver major public art projects and commissions, citywide, from fall 2021 to fall 2022. Supporting local artists and new artworks that reflect Toronto’s diversity, ArtworxTO is creating more opportunities for citizens to engage with art in their everyday lives. This September, the City of Toronto invites the public to discover creativity and community–everywhere. Visit artworxTO.ca for full details.

Local Discoveries is a City of Toronto Arts & Culture Signature Project.
