The City of Toronto StreetARToronto 2018 Information Session on November 16

November 15, 2017 by Akin Collective in Event

StreetARToronto (StART) is a proactive program that aims to support and increase awareness of street art throughout the city. StART's mission is to see Toronto as a 'living work of art’ by creating partnerships (between the City, residents, businesses, and the creative community), reducing graffiti vandalism, encouraging civic discussion about public art, using art to foster place making, and providing funds, materials, and mentorship opportunities.

StART will be holding an Information Session, Photo Exhibit and Workshop Series beginning November 16. If you would like to know more about StART programs including how and when to apply in 2018, please RSVP here: http://bit.ly/2yMOimQ and attend one or more of the following events:
