STEPS Public Art – Transforming our Neighbourhoods and Community Co-presented by MNjcc Adult Daytime Culture and Education and The Wagner-Green Centre for Access & Inclusion STEPS Public Art transforms our urban spaces and fosters inclusive communities through their vibrant, engaging and accessible public art projects. Learn about the importance of public art, how it supports local artists and transforms neighbourhoods through murals, installations, and community activities. This presentation will include a focus on the Accessible Art and Placemaking project. This initiative explores how public art can increase the accessibility of public spaces and includes a pilot project developed in partnership with the Bloor Annex BIA, artist Alex Bulmer, and ReDefine Arts. For those joining us in person, the presentation will be followed by an accessibility needs discussion over refreshments.
