VIEWS: AANIIN A Free Public Art & Mural Program for Youth

VIEWS: AANIIN is a free public art and mural program presented by Next Generation Arts, designed to support and uplift youth ages 16-29 in Markham and York Region.

The 2026 edition will be hosted at the Aaniin Community Centre & Library in the heart of Southeast Markham. Through weekly workshops led by community artists and peer mentors, participants will explore painting, design, cultural storytelling, and collaborative mural-making, culminating in a large-scale public mural that reflects the identities, lived experiences, and voices of local youth.
