We are excited to announce the launch of a new community mural project on the south wall of 1450 Coxwell Avenue!
The mural will be designed collaboratively by local artist Nneka Obi and community members through a series of design workshops this spring. The project is funded by a City of Toronto StreetARToronto grant and a generous donation from Coxwell Hardware.
“Public art has the power to transform a streetscape and create a sense of belonging,” said David Chen, Director of Programs. “We want this mural to reflect the stories and experiences of the people who live and work in this neighbourhood.”
Community members are invited to participate in the design workshops, which will take place at our studio at 15 Monarch Park Avenue on the following Saturdays:
- April 9, 2022 — 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
- April 23, 2022 — 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
- May 7, 2022 — 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
No artistic experience necessary! Light refreshments will be provided. Please email programs@monarchparktrust.ca to register.
Painting is scheduled for June 2022, and we will be looking for volunteer painters to help bring the design to life. Stay tuned for details.
