An interesting excerpt from an older Now Toronto article: "Falling into bed later, I consider how even in my Duchampian, inclusive definition of art - anything done by an artist - these boring curved lines of spray paint, in their total lack of inventiveness and dexterity, are anything but."

I'll do some research into some taggers and artists too and bring some trivia along the way. RSVP here. If this is a hit, I have two more tours to try later. Hope to see a small, eclectic gang.

Hi Art, I'm interested. I went on many APUG outings in the past but there is not much going on lately. I like to meet like minded people, exchange ideas and take pictures. Will monitor this thread. Cheers

Art you could drop by here with your group in the afternoon, I will have a lot of interesting prints to view, and our Kindred show will be up by then.

Hey Bob,

I really want this walkabout to be about street art. That said, no harm dropping in since it's nearby.


Regards, Art

Unfortunately rained out. I will reschedule. I had a nice chat over breakfast though with a photographer that signed up via Facebook. She shoots a Pentax K1000 that her dad gave her. She's all film. Dad's all digital. Funny how that is.....
