Craven Road

Craven Road Toronto Wall Of Art

Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Address:  Craven Road
Date:  March 2025

  Toronto is home to the Art Gallery of Ontario, as well as many small independant galleries. Only a few people know that they can also take a walk along Craven Road and see a variety of art.

Craven Road Fence Of Art.
 
   One side of Craven Road is full of houses and the other is a wooden fence. There is a wide variety of framed art and strange objects stuck to the fence. The part of the fence above has a mirror, a guitar, some hockey gloves and a painting of a blue person.

The nice thing about Craven Road is that it is always open. Day or night. Rain or shine.

Craven Road Artwork.

     We don't know who the artists are behind this artwork. Are they paintings from residents of Craven Road? Are they artwork from a local school?  Is everything found art with artists unknown?

Craven Road Fence Of Art.

         There were many paintings of nature and scenery. Perhaps the artists will one day be held in as high regard as the Group of Seven.

        As we admired the random collection of art stuck on the fence we also wondered who started it all?  Did someone from the street want to look at something more than an empty fence across from their home.

Craven Road Owl And Art.

    This section of the wall had the front and back of an owl, an upside down Q, a little red man and more.

Craven Road Musical Instruments.

    Another section was filled with instruments and shoes between the works of art.We assumed that the instruments no longer worked and were repurposed as decorations. If they were stuck on the fence in working order, Toronto's weather would have made quick work of them.

Craven Road Guitars On The Pier.

     Another section featured two guitars and a photo of a pier.

      A few other sections featured animal artwork. These were most likely to remember favourite pets.

Craven Road Art Gallery.

    How did it come to be and who may be the mystery curator of this fence full of art? We may never know. What we do know is that when all the other galleries are closed, you can always take a walk or a drive up Craven Road.
