We had the special privilege of working with Two-Spirit Anishinaabe-Ojibwe artist and designer Morgan Kagesheongai (@waskwane_designs). Students from @sunnybrook_school learned about the teachings of animals and their cultural significance, collaborating directly with Morgan to design, paint, and create these stunning schoolhouse signs for the outdoor fence. We are beyond grateful for Morgan's knowledge, expertise, and guidance throughout this project. Miigwech, we can't wait to see these installed! #communityart

Rooted in community engagement and collaboration, the mural reflects the voices, stories, and spirit of the community while celebrating Indigenous creativity, culture, and connection. Join us on September 26th and come enjoy: ⭐ The 2026 Art Connects mural unveiling ⭐ An artist talk featuring Morgan of Waskwane Designs ⭐ Indigenous food and beverages ⭐ And more! 📆When: Saturday, September 26th 📍Where: Gibson House Museum, 5172 Yonge St, North York 🕐Time: 2PM-4PM 🎟️ You can get your FREE tickets to the unveiling by using the link in our bio! - ABOUT WASKWANE DESIGNS Morgan Kagesheongai is an Anishinaabe-Ojibwe from Whitefish River First Nation and a graduate of Seneca College’s Illustration program. They live and work in the GTA as a multiple-disciplinary artist and workshop facilitator for a wide breadth of individual clientele and community led organizations. They animate short films, draw comics, make paintings, create murals and design for print and web. As an Indigenous person, they aspire to bring their cultural understanding and historical knowledge into the forefront of their work, taking on projects that can act as a vehicle for their stories, practices and unique understanding. - ABOUT ART CONNECTS Art Connects is an ongoing initiative that started in 2019 to address North York Arts’ (NYA) role in Truth and Reconciliation. As North York Arts builds programs, partnerships, and relationships, we continue to ask ourselves “As a non-Indigenous organization, what can we do to support the process of decolonization and build right relations with Indigenous communities?” Let's come together to celebrate Indigenous art and the community! 🎉

✨CRAWL 31: Sun Aug 16th Meeting at 2pm, Leaving 2:15pm 978 Bloor St W Expected end time: 4pm 🏔️ Crawl 31 will follow Bloor St W just south of the Junction neighbourhood. We will be looking at a variety of brand new murals, some completed as recently as the last several weeks. The crawl is a shorter distance, but has more stops that we typically do (10 instead of 8) so we expect to use our typical amount of time (2 hours). 🎨 At Stop 4, artist @waskwane_designs will join us to give an artist talk about their piece and speak about the Bloor UP Underpass Murals facilitated by @start_streetartoronto ✨QUEER ART CRAWL is a normally a monthly walk club that highlights mural artists and public art in Toronto through an activity club made by and for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks and their allies. ⏰ We highlight 6-10 murals on each crawl and on average, the walks are 1.5-2 hours with around 10 min per stop. This walk will include a couple extra pieces. 👀 There will be murals and graffiti that we don’t stop at along each walk. They maybe highlighted in later walks. ♿️ The Extra Info and Accessibility Notes pages is located at the link in my bio. It has detailed information about every crawl including an Overview, Terrain Description, Directions from Transit, Route Stops, Artist Names, and Public Washroom Info. 🗺️ All murals and walk routes will be on the interactive map at the link in my bio. The map highlights the stops and seating options along the way. All crawls are designed to be as physically accessible as possible and never include stairs. If you can’t make the walks, the maps will always be live so that you can walk them on your own time. 🌬️Please remember that these walks are scent free and smoking free. Please be mindful of your use of language to respect people’s identities and pronouns. 💸QUEER ART CRAWL is Free/ Pay what you can. The etransfer email where you can send money is artwalkclub@gmail.com. The funding goes to researching and organizing these events, marketing, full walk throughs and hiring artists.
