“Mural Routes presents Step x Step: Introduction to Mural Arts
Mural Routes will continue the Step x Step model for a free, intergenerational intro to mural arts course, this time at Toronto Public Library: Flemingdon Park Branch.
A total of 9 workshops will run at the Library on Saturdays 10am-1pm from February 23 to April 27, 2013.
The curriculum places a strong emphasis on connecting art and design techniques to practical mural making. Using the nearby CN Rail Rainbow Tunnel as a tangible project example, participants will be encouraged to design for and eventually volunteer on the project.
Pre-registration is required and spaces are limited – contact Tara Dorey, Program Coordinator by e-mailing tara@muralroutes.com
Mural Routes is a not-for-profit arts service organization dedicated to the creation, development and promotion of public wall art. Our vision is to inspire the creation of extraordinary public wall art that serves as a catalyst for community building. Mural Routes is collaborating with City of Toronto: Parks Forestry and Rec as well as Flemingdon Neighbourhood Services to paint the inside of the East Don Valley Trail CN Rail “Rainbow” tunnel this Spring of 2013.
The tunnel’s south-facing “Rainbow” mural was re-furbished by Mural Routes artists in the Fall of 2012.
