Make public art with us!! For a fourth year in a row, we are partnering with the City of Barrie to brighten our downtown spaces! You are invited to be part of this collaborative and creative process along with other youth in our community, led by local mentor artist January Paige. Learn the steps from proposal submission to installation as you work together to create a public art piece that will live on the patio of a downtown Barrie local restaurant or cafe. What patterns, movement & energy do you want to help bring to our downtown outdoor spaces? This year we will be responding to the theme Rhythms of the City!
