Aroma Cafe (500 Bloor St. W.) has hired Toronto-based graffiti artist Erica Balon to create a mural on its facade that features her signature cartoon-style characters. Balon’s works have appeared in events such as LuminaTO and Manifesto, and were featured in Canada’s first national exhibition of street art at the Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario. Many of her murals cover tags and gang-related symbols.
