  • Outdoor digital animations
  • Sculptures
  • Projection mapping

Rest assured your project will be supported by our experienced team of professionals plus a talented network of Canadian artists and designers. 

Cultural Planning

Meaningful cultural planning and development contribute to the well-being of communities and foster a sense of belonging within local economies. 

What can cultural planning services look like?

  • Help with your cultural master planning 
  • Community arts program design 
  • Public art calls and consultations
  • Community asset mapping

We’re ready to work with you to realize your community’s vision and unify Canadian communities through artistic and cultural development. 

Construction Hoarding Exhibits

Our PATCH (Public Art Through Construction Hoarding) Exhibits are the industry gold standard for helping developers, builders, and marketing firms meet public art requirements for construction sites. 

Need help understanding how to meet your bylaw requirements? We’re the experts in this area plus have the preexisting municipal relationships to make it a smooth and fulfilling process for you. Beyond the requirements in Toronto, Canada, public art is encouraged on construction sites in cities worldwide. Ask us how!

Artist Capacity Building

Drawing from the success of our own public art residency programs, we’re equipped to help you create your own programs. Be it for your arts organization or city, our artist capacity building service supports you from start to finish in the process.

Provide meaningful cultural opportunities, get to know local artists in your community, and attract new artists and visitors to your city through public art. This is a new service and we are actively creating custom projects. Don’t hesitate to book a call to discuss your unique needs and vision.
