The Main Street Window Activation Pilot Project is led by the City of Brampton’s Cultural Services department, to city-owned storefronts in the downtown core.
The City of Brampton is working with STEPS Public Art and artist Meegan Lim to activate vacant storefronts along Main Street in Downtown Brampton.
Titled Beyond the Plate, the storefront exhibit will be a celebration of the many prominent cuisines found in Brampton, Ontario. It strives to showcase the histories tied to each cuisine, while asking the viewer to reflect on the way they connect to food.
Brampton’s Arts, Culture & Creative Industry Development Agency (ACCIDA) will be engaging the public with programming related to the pilot project and its setting in the downtown core. As this is a City of Brampton Pilot Project, we want your feedback on how this pilot project impacts the downtown!
