About Brampton: An Artful Future

Public art in Brampton tells the story of the city's unique identity and its diverse communities, spanning past, present, and future. By transforming community spaces, public art invites residents and visitors alike to engage with artistic excellence throughout the city.

These initiatives offer opportunities for residencies, mentorships, training programs, and more.
