About

This workshop is inspired by MonkYi's new mural-in-progress located at Glen Abbey Community Centre - come make a button using illustrations inspired by Oakville plants and flowers!

MonkYi (Julia YH) is a muralist and illustrator born and raised in Toronto, with years of experience living and creating abroad. As a natural explorer and inspired by all ranges of human life, MonkYi's expressions are richly diverse to reflect the world around her, tied together with distinctive linework and bold colours.

MonkYi (Julia YH) is a participant of the 2024 CreateSpace Public Art Residency that is in partnership with Sustainable Thinking and Expression on Public Space (STEPS) and the Town of Oakville.

Organizer

Town of Oakville

The Town of Oakville is located on Treaty 14 and 22 lands, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. Oakville is home to many different First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. A vibrant and impressive community within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the Town of Oakville is a beautiful lakeside town with a strong heritage, preserved and celebrated by residents and visitors alike. Since the 1800s, it has become one of the most coveted areas to live and work in Ontario, with 225,000 residents calling Oakville home. The town offers all the advantages of a well-serviced urban centre with first-rate facilities and amenities while maintaining its small-town feel.
