The Markham Public Art Program and York Region Arts Council would like to hear from you!
We are launching the pilot project for a new program entitled Our Park: Community Art Project Grant. Our Park is designed to support the creation of a performance-based temporary art project by a local Markham artist, artist group or arts organization. The art project will then be presented in a community park in Markham. Ada Mackenzie Park (185 South Park Rd.) has been identified as an excellent site for this pilot project. Following an open call to artists, the winning project will be selected by a panel of relevant professionals. The winning project will then be realized in Ada Mackenzie Park in spring of 2023 and open to the public for free.
Before officially launching the project, we would like to invite you to participate in a survey. Your input will help inform the guidelines that will become part of the Open Call to Artists to be released in summer of 2022.
This survey is for Markham residents only and it will take about 8 to 10 minutes to complete. Your responses are anonymous and confidential. Thank you in advance for your time and insights.

Markham's Public Art Program: First initiated in 2003 and formalized in 2012. Since 2013, five permanent artworks have been commissioned through the program, with two more currently in progress. In addition, the program has facilitated a series of community art initiatives in collaboration with the City's Public Realm section. In the fall of 2019, Markham City Council approved its Public Art Master Plan 2020-2024, and a related Implementation Plan in winter 2020. The objectives of the program are to inspire people to live, work, visit and invest in Markham; to celebrate the city's diverse cultures and heritage from multiple points of view; and to connect residents to Markham's built and natural environment.
Markham: An award-winning municipality with more than 356,000 residents and the largest of nine communities in York Region, is home to over 650 headquartered companies and more than 1,500 high tech and life science companies. Markham is a leader in attracting foreign direct investment with more than 234 foreign companies located in the City. Founded in the 1790s, today Markham is Canada’s most diverse community and enjoys a rich heritage, outstanding community planning and services, and a vibrant local economy.
