Massey Hall celebrates one of Toronto’s most treasured performance venues. David Crighton’s 1980 illustration captures the enduring character of the Shuter Street landmark—a place associated with generations of remarkable concerts, comedy performances, and unforgettable evenings.
Whether you attended a favourite performance, stood beneath its marquee, or simply appreciate Toronto’s cultural history, this artwork offers a lasting connection to a venue that has created countless memories for performers and audiences alike.
Year Created: 1980
Location: Shuter Street, Toronto.
Artist Notes: I was originally commissioned to create this artwork by a man who intended to print it on T-shirts. Instead, I decided to release it as an art print. Good move. I later sold many personalized copies to a local concert promoter, who presented them to performers including Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, and Bob Dylan—and I received tickets to some of the events as well. Years later, while watching a television special about Gordon Lightfoot, I spotted his copy hanging in his home. How cool is that?
