New Mural Project Starting This Spring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This summer, we\u2019re finally bringing back outdoor projects in a big way. During our Fall and Winter programs, one idea kept popping up: murals. It\u2019s been a minute since we last did one, and honestly, we miss it. Back in 2024 we had so much fun experimenting with big colour, big ideas, and watching a blank wall turn into something that actually meant something to people. We\u2019ve supported a few murals over the years, but it feels like time to jump back in ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lately we\u2019ve been looking for inspiration, and that led us down to Windsor, Ontario. If you haven\u2019t checked out Art Alley<\/a> downtown \u2014 near the Pelissier Street Parking Garage. It\u2019s worth it. The space is packed with massive wall pieces, smaller detailed work, even painted picnic tables. It\u2019s the kind of place where you slow down without realizing it, just taking everything in. You can feel how public art shifts a space. It makes it more alive, more shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing that energy reminded us why murals matter. They\u2019re not just \u201cnice to look at.\u201d They tell stories. They mark a moment in time. They give people \u2014 especially young artists \u2014 a chance to leave something lasting out in the open, not tucked away online. There\u2019s something different about standing back and thinking, yeah, we made that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning kicks off in late March. If you\u2019ve got ideas, sketches, or just want to be part of the process, reach out. We\u2019d genuinely love to hear from you and build something bold together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
