NEXT TIME YOU VISIT UPTOWN WATERLOO, DON’T HESITATE TO STRAY OFF THE MAIN THOROUGHFARES. FOR WHILE KING STREET HAS MUCH TO OFFER, IT’S THE SIDE STREETS AND BACK ALLEYS OF THIS TERRIFIC CORE THAT GIVE THE AREA ITS DISTINCTIVE FLAVOUR. HUGHES LANE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE. CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UPTOWN WATERLOO BIA, CITY OF WATERLOO ARTS AND CULTURE TEAM (CREATE WATERLOO) AND LOCAL ARTISTS, THE HUGHES LANE ART WALK IS A PLACE-MAKING PILOT THAT SERVES TO ANIMATE AND TRANSFORM AN UPTOWN ALLEYWAY INTO A VIBRANT CORRIDOR OF PUBLIC ART CRAFTED BY LOCAL ARTISTS. SO POKE AROUND CORNERS. EXPLORE SIDE STREETS. VENTURE DOWN ALLEYS. GET CURIOUS.
