Guided Mural Tours

The best way to discover urban art in Sudbury!

Join us on a walking guided tour of the urban art gallery that is downtown Sudbury. Join the city’s first and original mural and street art walking tour to get the skinny on the artists, works, and the public art scene in Sudbury. We’ll be covering close to 30 massive works and exploring back alleys to see pieces by our talented artists as well as installations.

This is the perfect outing for locals and visitors, art fans, and people who also just like pretty things… so kind of everyone.

Up Here festival and We Live Up Here have created and curated over 50 public art pieces in and around downtown Sudbury since the summer of 2013.

The walking tour lasts roughly 2-2:30 hours.
