Have you ever wondered how the creative murals or inspiring sculptures that populate Kingston came to be? Or what's next?
In this month’s episode, we have Danika Lochhead, Manager of Arts and Sector Development and Taylor Norris, Public Art Coordinator at the City of Kingston at the mic. They’ll share some insights into the process behind delivering captivating public art, fostering creativity, and enriching the community experience.
As we all know, podcasts are primarily an audio experience but you can see images of the works in the full description. This way, you can see what we’ll be discussing and follow along with us during this episode.
