West End Art Project
Life After Fifty has received $20,000 to coordinate a community art project funded by the Gordie Howe International Bridge Community Benefits Plan.
This project will embark on a creative journey to connect our region to the potential of the West End - exploring our past, present and future through public art.
Public art has a diverse meaning but is meant to be physically and freely accessible to the public. Public art can embrace art in all forms and is widely understood to have many benefits to communities like:
Creating a sense of identity, uniqueness and civic pride
Improving the quality of the overall environment by involving the community
Celebrating place, historical heritage or particular characteristics relating to the site where the work will be displayed
Goals and objectives
To engage local youth and the surrounding community in the development of a representative public art project that displays the culture and heritage of West Windsor.
This project aims to enhance civic pride as understood by its diverse communities, reflecting the importance of the area from the people living and working in the West End.
