ROC x County Arts Mural Launch Party

The Recreation Outreach Centre and the Prince Edward County Arts Council (County Arts) are delighted to invite the community to a Mural Launch Party on June 1st!

Over the last few months, a team of youth artists from the ROC and professional artist facilitators have been designing and creating a series of murals along the theme of belonging. The resulting public art installation will be affixed to the tennis court fence in Picton’s Benson Park from June-August 2023 for the summer-long enjoyment of the entire community.

When: Thursday, June 1st from 3:30-5 PM (remarks at 4 PM)

Where: Benson Park, 56 King Street, Picton, ON

Please join us as we celebrate this unique opportunity to give voice to County youth’s visions of a welcoming community, and for all residents to rediscover and celebrate our collective sense of belonging, identity, and pride of place after a challenging few years.

We are interested in learning about the impact of community-engaged public art projects like this one on the wider community. Once you’ve gotten the chance to take in the mural installation, please take a minute to fill in our Community Survey. Thank you!

This community-engaged arts project is a collaboration between the ROC and County Arts, and made possible thanks to a Canada Healthy Communities Initiative grant awarded by the Community Foundations of Canada / Government of Canada.
