These artworks share first person perspective stories that speak to the rich ongoing history of the site as home to many diverse plant and animal species and cultural communities, beginning with the Indigenous peoples of Tkaronto and Turtle Island. The Lansdowne Underpass Art Project creates a collaborative artwork that honours this site by telling stories of those who have and continue to live on, play on, build community on, struggle on, learn from, grow in, paint, immigrate to, contribute to, and tend to this land.

With the development of the railway in Elgin County came the opportunity for the farming community to get their goods to the national and international markets. The railway helped to make Canada a connected agricultural force.
Taking inspiration from the St. Thomas-Elgin Immigration Partnership’s 2020 cookbook “From There to Here” this mural embodies the celebration of food from across the world. Vibrant and fun, the artists sought to bring food to life in the same way it does when we sit down with friends for a good meal. Food is also the ultimate connector across cultural boundaries and by mashing everything up together you get something beautiful and unique.
These barriers were created for the Scarlett Road Cycle Track as part of the StreetARToronto (StART) community during the Fall of 2020.
