Mimico Creek, ca. 1920 (2008)

Step back to a quieter, greener Toronto with this evocative mural depicting Mimico Creek and Dundas Street as they appeared around 1920. Lush sumac, spruce, and pine frame a landscape that once drew painters to the steps of the nearby Montgomery's Inn for inspiration. It's a beautiful, unhurried moment of public art perfect for an after-work stroll — history and nature rendered in vivid colour right on the sidewalk. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
