Join STEPS and The City of Brampton’s Public Art Officer for this free Public Art 101 workshop.

We’ll begin with an information session on the various types of public art, ways to approach public art calls, and tips and tricks to develop a strong application for a public art submission.

Following the information session, we’ll take a short walking tour through Brampton’s downtown core with Erin Glover, the City of Brampton’s Public Art Officer. Together, we’ll discover local public art projects and hear from Erin about the artists and processes behind their creations.
