A Great Day in Toronto Hip Hop [1] is a black-and-white photograph of 103 key players from the Canadian hip hop scene in Toronto, taken by photographer Patrick Nichols for the Art Gallery of Ontario on August 14, 2024. [2] Echoing inspirational notes of the iconic 1958 Art Kane photo " A Great Day in Harlem " and the 1998 Gordon Parks photo " A Great Day in Hip Hop ", "A Great Day in Toronto Hip Hop" features a collective likeness of MCs, DJs, break-dancers, graffiti artists, producers, promoters, designers and media personalities -- together representing three-generations of Hip Hop culture in Canada -- grouped standing on the steps of the Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex. [3] The image was captured with a Phase One digital camera, shortly after noon. [4]
