A Mural in Mabelle Park?! We are so excited about our partnership with OddSide Arts and muralists Jacquie Comrie and Jasmine Vanstone. Here's a peek from one of our community consultations, where youth shared their thoughts, feelings, and artistic inspirations surrounding Mabelle Park and what they might want to see in a mural representing them! Huge thanks to Oddside Arts, Jacquie, and Jasmine. Keep your eyes on Mabelle Park this summer to see the mural take shape!

This project has been made possible through support from StreetARToronto, Mural Routes, Ontario Arts Council - Conseil des arts de l'Ontario, and Toronto Arts Council.

Participants from our Mabelle Youth Corps and Newcomer Artist Ambassador programs had the pleasure of visiting MOCA Toronto last month through MOCA’s Community Art Pass program. It’s not every day that we get to take a trip beyond Mabelle Avenue, and the warm welcome from MOCA was a great reminder of the wonderful cultural institutions that Toronto has to offer. Thanks for having us, MOCA!

Oddside Arts is hosting community engagement workshops on March 11 & March 13 for Mabelle Avenue Residents to gather stories, colours, and ideas for an upcoming mural in Mabelle Park. These sessions are a space to reflect on connection, care, and what it means to gather in a place that serves such a meaningful purpose for the Mabelle community. You’ll also get to meet the lead muralist Jacquie Comrie and supporting muralist Jasmine Vanstone.

Together, we’ll explore how Mabelle Park can continue to grow as an art park and community centre. Your lived experiences, cultural narratives, and hopes for the space will directly inform the mural’s design.

Come share, imagine, and co-create with us.

Seniors’ Workshop: Wednesday, March 11, 1 PM - 3 PM
Youth and Families’ Workshop: Friday, March 13, 4 PM - 6 PM

All community members welcome!

These workshops are led by Oddside Arts supported by Mabelle Arts and centres collective voices at every step because public art is strongest when it’s built together.
