About
Presented with RBC Royal Bank, the STEPS Initiative launched the I heART Main Street Art Challenge, to support our city and the culture that brings our communities together. Through DIY art installations created in collaboration with local artists and Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) across Toronto and the Peel Region, the challenge helps to increase feelings of trust and community.
As part of the 2020 Main Street Art Challenge, the Cabbagetown BIA has developed a cultural walk featuring exhibits at seven CafeTO locations. These CafeTO activations include exhibits of artwork done by PATCH Artist Fatspatrol (Fathima Mohiuddin) and artwork done by PATCH Artist Duncan C. McLean.
The featured art is spread throughout the Cabbagetown BIA main streets and provides a fun and socially-distanced, self-guided art walk throughout the area. Make sure to visit all seven CafeTO locations!
