On-Site Participatory Projects
An on-site participatory art is a collaborative art project created at a specific location, where neighbours actively participate in the design and painting process, resulting in a mural that reflects back their shared values, stories, and aspirations.

HOW is it done?
A community mural emerges from a collaborative journey that begins with consultations and engagement sessions, ensuring the mural reflects the ideas, stories, and visions of the community. Once a shared vision is established, artists create preliminary designs, refining them based on feedback. The chosen site is then prepped, with walls cleaned and primed, ready to become a canvas. In the heart of the process, professional artists facilitate painting sessions to community members, transforming ideas into vibrant visuals. The project culminates in a celebration, as the community comes together to unveil their collective masterpiece.
