Globe and Mail Arts
The printed version of the Globe Arts section features a display ad highlighting the current exhibitions of a number of Yorkville Galleries. This ad is always printed in the Globe on the Saturday that precedes the Art Walk and lists galleries that are open late on the evening of the Art Walk. A number of these galleries participate in the organized Art Walk and others are open for unscheduled visits.

The Art Walk starts at the Hazelton Lanes Mall, 87 Avenue Rd., Toronto, Ontario.
Meet on the lower level, opposite Brown’s Shoe Store in the open seating area, at the bottom of the staircase to the 2nd floor. (See Itinerary below for the detailed schedule.)

Free parking is available in the Hazelton Lanes underground parking lot. Enter from the 'Whole Foods' parking entrance at 87 Avenue Rd and park on any level, not just the Whole Foods level.

Please note that a new “validation” procedure is now in place, which requires visitors to get their original parking ticket validated before exiting the parking lot. Art Walk helpers no longer have pre-validated passes.

1. Upon entering the parking lot, take a ticket from the entrance machine. Do not use your credit card.

2. Take the ticket to the Guest Services counter on the upper level, under the skylight overlooking Whole Foods.

3. Ask the Guest Services representative to validate the ticket "for the Art Walk." (Good for the entire evening.)

4. Later, when leaving the parking lot, insert the validated ticket into the machine at the parking gate.

5. If you forget to get the ticket validated before the Art Walk, you can do so after the walk. However, it is more complicated since the Guest Services counter closes at 7:30 p.m. You will need to contact the Security attendant at 416-323-3184, who will come to the counter to validate the ticket for you.
