Your name belongs beside your work.
Where an artist is known, their name, handle, crew, and collaborators should be easy to find. If a record is wrong, there should be a way to correct it.
TO THE ARTISTS, WRITERS & MURALISTS OF TORONTO
The city is richer
because of you.
Thank you for the colour, the questions, the craft, and the courage you bring to our streets. Your work gives people a reason to stop, look again, and feel connected to a place.
A NOTE FROM STREETSIDE
We see the work.
We want people to see you.
A wall is never just a backdrop. It holds your time, your choices, your influences, and your relationship with the city. Whether your piece stays for years or disappears next week, it deserves to be seen in context.
Streetside is here to help people learn who made the work they encounter and why it matters. We want to listen to artists, credit collaborators, and make space for the stories that a photograph alone cannot tell.
OUR COMMITMENT
Respect starts
with the artist.
The story is yours to tell.
A wall can hold personal history, community memory, humour, or protest. Streetside makes room for your words and the context you want people to understand.
The physical work leads.
The piece and its place come first. A digital layer is optional, and it should add to the encounter only when you feel it serves the work.

A CHANGING CITY
Paint changes.
Credit should remain.
Toronto’s walls are alive. Pieces are layered, covered, and remade. Streetside aims to keep a thoughtful record of the work and the people who made it, while acknowledging that the street never stands still.
Be part of the storyIF IT SERVES YOUR WORK
A little more
room to tell it.
Streetside’s mobile Studio is an optional way to add motion or a new layer of context to a physical piece. You choose what moves, preview the result, and decide whether it belongs on the wall. The original artwork stays at the centre.

TRY AN OPTIONAL PREVIEW
Curious what your
piece could become?
Upload a straight-on photo and describe a subtle movement you would like to explore. This is a preview of a possible digital layer; your wall and your original work remain the starting point.
AN OPEN INVITATION
Thank you for making
Toronto worth looking at.
We would be honoured to build Streetside with the artists whose work gives this city its voice.
