The
Adelaide and Widmer Streets Mural Project is the first mural painted
outdoors by Bill Wrigley . The building, located at 308 Adelaide
St. West, was home and studio to the artist from 1984 until 1991.
With kind financial support of the late Leon Katz - owner
of the building, the artist was able to undertake the project,
completing it in three months. On August 12, 1986, the mural was
celebrated in an open street party, unveiled to the City of Toronto
by Mayor Art Eggleton. The ribbon cutting was witnessed by some
150 guests, curious onlookers and the celebrated individuals depicted
in the mural.
| The
mural remains to this day. |
