Riverside is Getting a New Mural – Call for Submissions
We are starting to prepare for a new mural and our next step is to find the right artist. 
The Riverside BIA has exciting plans for a new mural this summer! The mural will be located at 105 Broadview Ave. on the Pizza Nova wall. This wall is highly visible from the Broadview Hotel, Queen St. East, and more!

The theme for this mural is community engagement and vibrancy to represent and reflect upon the neighbourhood throughout the years. Riverside is a neighbourhood that maintains a small-town atmosphere through events and community engagement which is why we are reaching out.

We are currently looking for an artist to complete this project; the artists should be familiar with the area and objectives of the BIA.

If you know of any artists that you think would be a good fit, please spread the word!

Please send us a proposal with your contact information, samples of your work and where/when it was done, and any social media links. Send to office@riverside-to.com
 
Riverside Walks for Doors Open Toronto

As part of the Riverside Walks 2019 series, the Riverside BIA is excited to be part of the Doors Open Toronto official guided walking tours series on May 25th and 26th: 20 Something!

Explore what the next 20 years has in store for Riverside that will help improve the neighbourhood and work to create an even stronger sense of community.

Come along and learn about Riverside’s rich history dating back to the 1880s and explore what the future holds for this vibrant community. The neighbourhood has seen a huge transformation from a bustling industrial part of town with a vibrant sport and leisure community, to a now thriving mixed-use residential and commercial neighbourhood with a small-town-in-the-big-city atmosphere. The Riverside BIA is happy to share the past and the exciting future ahead! 

Let us know you’re coming!
