À propos

If you’re looking for an art adventure, Vaughan has 12 new public art stops to add to your plans!

The ARTonBOXES program launched through the Group of Seven REMIXED pilot this spring, transforming 12 traffic signal boxes into extraordinary works of art that enhance the creative urban character of Vaughan’s neighbourhoods, beautify city streetscapes, and discourage “tagging” vandalism. Vaughan secondary school visual art specialty students collaborated with the City to create original artwork for the pilot. The art designs, inspired by the spirit of iconic Group of Seven landscape paintings, were converted digitally into vinyl art wraps and installed on traffic signal box canvases city-wide.

The artworks can be viewed on the traffic signal boxes at the following locations:

Major Mackenzie Drive and Keele Street – Maria Suzdaleva, The Calmest Hour
