VIEWS: KGO Made

Presented by Next Generation Arts, VIEWS: KGO Made is a FREE 8-week intensive public art and mural program designed to support and uplift youth ages 16–29. This project will add a community-inspired mural at the Heron Park Community Centre in the heart of the Kingston-Galloway / Orton Park neighbourhood - an area deeply shaped by youth creativity, resilience, and community spirit.

Through workshops led by community artists and peer mentors, youth participants will explore painting, design, cultural storytelling, and collaborative mural-making. Together, we’ll create a community-informed mural that reflects the identities, lived experiences, and voices of local youth—transforming a public wall into a lasting legacy of youth vision and leadership.
