« SCARBOROUGH ARTS PRESENTS: Scarborough Sign Mural Project & Mural Painting Workshop Series for Indigenous Youth
Every Saturday from 11AM-3PM, May 28th to June 25th

About the Workshop:
Scarborough Arts, in collaboration with 7th Generation Image Makers, will be hosting a large-scale art and mural making program as a part of ArtworxTO: Toronto’s Year of Public Art 2021-2022! This workshop series is for Indigenous youth ages 16-29 and requires a commitment of attending 5 workshop sessions held weekly on Saturdays from May 28th-June 25th.

The program will provide each participant with: a free art kit, instruction and mentorship by Mo Thunder to develop their artistic skills, professional development, a $1000 artist and participation fee, and the opportunity for their work to be featured on the Scarborough Sign which will be installed on June 30th at the very high traffic Scarborough Town Centre!

Youth, as a part of this program, will also have the opportunity to have a feature of themselves and their practice on the Scarborough Arts website as well on this program’s landing page. This program was developed with the Scarborough Arts mandate in mind to provide professional and artistic development to youth of all levels of experience in our communities.

*Workshops are scheduled for EDT and will be delivered in-person at a to-be-announced location in Scarborough.
