You Gotta Check Out These 10 Amazing Instagram Accounts From Toronto’s Culture Scene

Toronto

Instagram has grown rapidly since its release in 2010. As of June 2016, the photo- and video-sharing mobile app and social network had 500 million active monthly users across the world – an annual increase of 100 million!

An image is worth a thousand words

Much, if not most, of Instagram’s success can be explained by the app’s dedication to visuals.

Not surprisingly, many of Toronto’s top cultural institutions – from the Royal Ontario Museum to the National Ballet of Canada – are now using Instagram to showcase their offerings. Many of these institutions have adopted creative promotional tactics, from hosting contests to posting behind-the-scenes photos.

Below are 10 of my favourite Instagram accounts from Toronto’s culture scene.

1. Toronto International Film Festival (@tiff_net)

See promos and behind-the-scenes images on the TIFF’s Instagram account. TIFF is currently using the app to host its Shorts Festival contest. Smart!

5. Gladstone Hotel (@gladstonehotel)

Never been to the Gladstone, but I want to go after visiting this artsy and eccentric account.

 

6. Canadian Opera Company (@canadianopera)

Though I think it’s still trying to find itself, this account will make you feel like you’re part of the production.

 

7. National Ballet of Canada (@nationalballet)

Definitely the most beautiful Instagram account out there! The person in charge of this account is an artist in their own right.

 

8. Ontario Science Centre (@ontariosciencecentre)

This account doesn’t take itself too seriously. Lots of education and fun. A total reflection of the Science Centre’s family-friendly brand.

 

9. Pride Toronto (@pridetoronto)

How could Pride Toronto not have a awesome account. So many happy people, fun activities. And colour!
