TORONTO, Canada (September 23, 2014): The Bloor St. Culture Corridor, Toronto's most diverse arts and culture district, is pleased to launch the new Bloor St. Culture Corridor mobile app. The app will connect Torontonians and visitors to Toronto with the 13 arts and culture destinations on Bloor Street West, and the vast range of cultural events on offer year round - conveniently via personal smartphones and tablets.
The Bloor St. Culture Corridor highlights the extraordinary wealth of cultural experiences that are so easily accessible all in one easily-walkable mile on Bloor Street West, between Bathurst and Bay Streets: museums, films, art exhibitions, music concerts, culture talks, architecture, and more. It also offers opportunities to experience some of Toronto's cultural diversity, including French, Jewish, Italian, Japanese and Aboriginal arts and culture.
The Bloor St. Culture Corridor mobile app provides access to special offers exclusive to app users, and a convenient way to easily see the richness of cultural destinations and events in the Bloor Street area of central Toronto, from The Annex through to Yorkville. The app's social feed connects users with the latest news and announcements from the Twitter feeds of all of the arts and culture destinations on the Bloor St. Culture Corridor. Users can also browse through options for shopping, eating, and hotels on the corridor.
The Bloor St. Culture Corridor attracts Torontonians, arts audiences, and tourists to Bloor St. Each year, more than two million members of the public go to Bloor St. Culture Corridor arts and culture destinations, and more than 1.5 million people attend Bloor St. Culture partners' exhibitions, performances and events. The mobile app will provide a convenient way for established audiences and attendees to access event information and special offers, and the app will help to attract new visitors to the neighbourhood and the dynamic arts and culture destinations on Bloor St. West.
An example of upcoming events that can be found on the Bloor St. Culture Corridor mobile app include numerous free events that are part of the Bloor St. Culture Corridor Hub during Culture Days, September 26-28, 2014.
The Bloor St. Culture Corridor mobile app is available from the web site at

The creation of the Bloor St. Culture Corridor mobile app was supported by the Culture Development Fund of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport.
