Large Scale Mural

The Large-Scale Murals program brings internationally recognized masterpieces to the neighbourhood, transforming building façades into cultural landmarks. Highlights include Phlegm’s monumental contemplative figure at 1 St. Clair W, birdO’s surreal Deer Park mural overlooking St. Clair E, and Gosia Komorski’s floral tribute celebrating local heritage. Together, these murals reflect Yonge + St. Clair’s past, present, and future while enhancing visual identity and pedestrian experience.

Overview

Project Goals

The Large-Scale Murals program uses prominent building façades to establish cultural landmarks throughout Yonge + St. Clair. The initiative aims to bring ambitious public art into the neighbourhood, strengthen its visual identity, and celebrate local creativity.

Community Impact

Visible from both nearby sidewalks and farther across the district, the murals bring cultural experiences into public space. They create recognizable landmarks, encourage exploration, add visual interest to everyday journeys, and contribute to a neighbourhood identity shaped by art, architecture, history, and creativity.

Looking Ahead

Future large-scale artworks can continue building a collection that reflects Yonge + St. Clair’s changing identity. New developments may provide opportunities for additional commissions, allowing contemporary artists and neighbourhood stories to become part of the district while strengthening its reputation as a destination for public art.

The Artist Approach

The program works with local and internationally recognized artists to create site-specific, multi-storey artworks. Rather than applying one visual style across every location, individual artists respond differently to neighbourhood context, architecture, and heritage, allowing each mural to become a distinct landmark within the broader public-art collection.
