You + STEPS Public Art =

Your public art goals

From the world’s tallest mural to animating laneways, we help you elevate artists and communities

Work with us to create public art, hoarding exhibits, and cultural plans committed to equity and diversity

“From the moment the art hit the street, the community was intrigued!
They interacted with each of the pieces. Without STEPS, we couldn’t have done it.”

Karlee Slattery

Director Of Community Outreach, Downtown Tillsonburg Business Improvement Area

“STEPS provides invaluable support from helping cultivate the Call to Artists, facilitating the selection process, and even walking us through the contract phase. They have the resources, professional and knowledgeable staff, and commitment to ensure success with each project they undertake.”

Kegan McFadden

Executive Director, Victoria Arts Council

“Working with STEPS helped us complete a project we’d been envisioning for some time: transforming our streetscape and unifying our Business Improvement Area catchment through art. We’re excited to continue the momentum ignited by the work we did with STEPS!”

Art can reshape neighbourhoods. Do you agree?

Public art connects you to your home, introduces you to new places and cultures, and strengthens communities. 

If you believe intentional public art makes spaces meaningful, welcoming, and safe, you’re in the right place.
