Yorkville Murals | Sept 24 - 26, 2021 Toronto’s Yorkville Murals is an annual three-day cultural event that celebrates contemporary muralism and public art.

The event organized in partnership with the Bloor-Yorkville Business Improvement Association is also a program partner of the ArtworxTO: Toronto’s Year of Public Art 2021–2022.
