The Awaken Studio is in the heart of the Leslieville neighbourhood, just east of downtown Toronto core. It's about a 10-minute drive or cab ride from the downtown. Equally convenient from public transit, a five-minute walk north on Carlaw from the Queen Streetcar and a 10-minute walk south on Carlaw from the Gerrard Streetcar. The Pape bus from either direction, southbound from the Pape subway station or northbound towards the Pape subway station, stops directly in front of the Factory East Loft building that the Awaken Studio is located in.
