My two-year-old loves noticing things that adults walk past. The Art Gallery of Toronto started from that same feeling: slow down, look up, and realize the city has been quietly showing you art the whole time.

Toronto is full of little invitations to pay attention. Some are bronze, some are painted, and some are tucked beside places you already pass every week.

Why this exists

I wanted the city’s public art to feel easier to wander through, not like a database you have to operate. The project is a way to drift across murals, monuments, sculptures, and strange little civic surprises without needing to know what you are looking for first.

What it tries to do

The goal is to make discovery feel natural. Search when you know the name, browse when you do not, and let the map pull you toward something nearby. It should feel like a walk with better memory.

What comes next

I will keep improving the collection, the search, and the small details that make each artwork feel less like a pin and more like a reason to go outside.
