Yue Moon / 圓滿 is a community-based, multimedia public art program by STEPS. Through a series of art-making workshops and storytelling with community members, this program culminated in two public art installations as part of the 2021 Lunar New Year Celebrations in Toronto’s Chinatown, including Yue Moon: Animated Light / 圓滿：舞動, a large-scale digital projection exhibit, and Yue Moon ll / 圓滿：貳, a public art installation, where original artworks from community participants were featured in a series of lanterns hung throughout the Chinatown community.
