In a city where street art and shoreline have long existed in separate worlds, Ripley's Aquarium of Canada is attempting a quiet act of cultural synthesis — bringing the painted walls of Graffiti Alley into conversation with living coral reefs. The new Graffiti Reef exhibit asks whether urban expression and natural wonder might illuminate each other, and Indie88 Toronto is offering families a chance to witness that question firsthand through a radio contest giving away four-ticket packs to the aquarium.
