“In the summer of 2011 community arts heavyweights Art Starts teamed up with Emerging Artist Gallery Whippersnapper, to launch a groundbreaking program called the Youth Street Art Mentorship project. Throughout July and August five local youth from the Alexandra Park and Chinatown area worked along side 7 different professional public artists to create artworks that respond to issues that directly affect them and their community.”
