VEQ is looking for community members willing to submit a painting that represents what the English-speaking community is to them. This innovative project will bring community members together through the creation of a collaborative mural. A total of 100 participants of all ages will collaborate to create the mural, resulting in a lasting and permanent exhibit. This project will take place from June 2016 to March 2017 and will conclude with a special event where all community members will be invited to view the mural showcasing our community’s rich heritage and unique identity. The mural will then become a permanent exhibit in our community Wellness Centre. VEQ will provide materials to participants. This project is funded by Canadian Heritage.
