Durham is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Ontario. As our cities, towns and spaces evolve, public art and placemaking invites people to connect in new and unexpected ways. Inclusive and accessible public art and placemaking can reflect the unique and diverse population, enhance the vibrancy of our communities, support local artists, and strengthen local pride.

Support Our Public Art and Creative Placemaking Program

We invite individuals and organizations to contribute to the enrichment of our community through the Public Art and Creative Placemaking Program. Your generous donations will directly support initiatives that enhance the aesthetics of our region and provide vital support to local creatives.

Per our policy, all donated funds will be allocated to Public Art and Creative Placemaking projects, ensuring that your contribution makes a meaningful impact. Join us in fostering a vibrant and inspiring community by supporting public art today.
