About
Artist Leeay Aikawa collaborated with the OCPA community to create the artwork for the three external murals installed on the building of the theatre. Through simple yoga-inspired stretches and a brief meditation, community members were invited to a therapeutic state to express their felt emotions and immediate energies in the form of gestural sketches. These sketches were collected and scanned to compose a new final image.

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.
