Arts @ MacPherson 2021
Community Partners Feature
Participate In Design (P!D) is working with 4 community partners for Arts @ MacPherson to create a series of art interventions which aims to create delight in everyday experiences through pops of unexpected art around the neighbourhood. We wrapped up our first season of the initiative in March 2020 and are excited to get started again with another batch of artists and community partners for 2021!
By bringing in community partners and artists to work alongside beneficiaries to build art interventions in the public spaces of MacPherson, we hope to enhance the hidden gems of the neighbourhood for the residents.
What is a Community Partner? A Community Partner is an important community node in the neighbourhood that works together with the residents.
