About
Meet up with Acton's Artist in Residence Ingrid Mayrhofer at the weekly Farmers' Market, and stay up to date with her community arts project - to be revealed in Prospect Park this October! Ingrid's work has previously been on display through the Public Art Program with her 'After Nature' banner series, displayed throughout the town in 2020 and 2021. This program is presented by the Acton BIA in partnership with the Town of Halton Hills.
The Town of Halton Hills has partnered with the Downtown Acton BIA to bring you 'Art Around Acton'. Residents and visitors can experience a variety of temporary and permanent public art activations and cultural events in Downtown Acton until the end of 2022.
As part of Art Around Acton and Culture Days, don't miss Ingrid Mayrhofer, visual artist, curator, educator and community arts pracitioner during an 8-week artist residency at the Acton Farmer’s Market every Thursday until October 6. During this residency, Mayrhofer will work with a “Tree of Life” motif, creating clay tiles that will be mounted to form a mural. Visitors can contribute sketches or clay pieces or chose to take a self-curing clay piece home. The final mural will be presented during Culture Days this fall. Residents in Halton Hills may recognize her printmaking works from the After Nature public art banners that were displayed in multiple locations in Town in 2020 and 2021.
