À propos

If you’re looking for an art adventure, Vaughan has 27 public art stops waiting to be explored!

Discover 15 new ART HEALING series designs, along with 12 favourites from the previous Group of Seven REMIXED series.

The ART of HEALING is the 2025 theme for the ARTonBOXES Program Implementation Strategy. In the spirit of positivity in a time we are facing global societal and environmental challenges, this ARTonBOXES theme is dedicated to exploring an inspired intersection of art and health – where art plays centre stage in supporting our physical, mental and social well-being.

Fifteen new original designs themed around the ART of HEALING have been installed on traffic signal boxes around Vaughan. More than 100 submissions were received from artists in Vaughan and across the Greater Toronto Area between December 2024 and February 2025.
