About
The Town of Oakville invited artist Natalie Very B. to create a temporary artwork for the neighbourhood community centre responding to the theme of “Connextions”.
This mural installation showcases temporary public artwork to build community spirit and reflect on the idea of reconnecting communities.
The artist offers: "The artwork exemplifies our unique, yet often overlooked, connection to Mother Nature and reminds us that we ought to take care of the land that we call home. The mural aims to inspire passersby to tend to the natural environment as much as we tend to human rights, all while embracing one another from a place of dignity and respect.”
