CASE STUDY: KEDDY ACCESS TRAIL PUBLIC ART PROJECT, HAMILTON ON
“The City of Hamilton has commissioned a series of mural projects for barrier walls along the Keddy Access Trail and the Jolley Cut Underpass. A request for Expressions of Interest was released in June 2022 and from the 122 submissions received, a citizen advisory committee selected six (6) artists/collectives from Hamilton, Toronto, and Winnipeg to design and paint the murals in August 2022. Projection Goals and Themes Murals reflect one or more aspects of the project goal determined by the Keddy Trail Street Art Advisory Committee.
“The Keddy Trail Street Art Project aims to create a sense of connection with residents about the idea of Hamilton as a Livable City. The Keddy Trail serves as a thread linking elements of shared civic space, a literal line cutting through the tension of a growing city accessed by a broad range of citizens. The Keddy Trail Street Art Project commissions will address the sense of balance between the natural environment, cycling, pedestrian and vehicular infrastructure, the upper and lower city, diverse communities and people, on our journey to becoming a Livable City.” - Keddy Trail Street Art Advisory Committee”
