CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MOONLIGHT MURALS COLLECTIVE

Community Builds Community by Moonlight Murals Collective has been selected as the winning design for the Diversity and Inclusion Mural.

The Collective describe their mural concept as “a beautiful quilt made up of a variety of textiles with different designs and motifs.” The goal of the design is to “portray the idea of Canadians of all backgrounds, coming together in order to build and produce beauty together by way of sewing a quilt.” Once complete, the final design will be turned into a vinyl mural, treated with an anti-graffiti coating, and then applied to a wall in the downtown core.

The mural, entitled Community Builds Community, depicts hands of various ethnicities and genders sewing a quilted blanket that contains patches reflective of the many cultures and language groups that call the Town of Aurora home. This mural would not be possible without the generous support of Desjardins Insurance, SmartCentres and Lenard Lind of the Lind Realty Team. The mural is located at 15105 Yonge Street on the north side of the building.
