Join the Glenelm Neighbourhood Association to visit a variety of beautiful public artworks in Glenelm/Elmwood. Whether it's in a park, a back lane, a street, or outside a business, art makes our city better! We’ll explore what makes people want to share art with their neighbours, and whether public art can be more than just something nice to look at. Throughout stops along the way, participants will explore questions like: How does art affect the city and the neighbourhood? Is it just adding beauty and interest? And can it play roles beyond the aesthetic? To end the tour and discussion, participants will find out when and where the next mural will go up!

Accessibility
The meeting place is a paved and fenced area at the corner of Johnson and Henderson with plenty of seating. It is a busy intersection; please exercise caution when crossing Henderson & Johnson.
