Street Art and Parkettes

Wonder & Wander

745 Talbot Street

Located at the Ignite Youth Centre, this mural is meant to inspire students of Elgin County and St Thomas. A little bit of nature and magic for the youth centre tying into the neighbouring Horton Farmers Market.

 

The piece brings a beautiful burst of light to the alleyway, conjuring up themes of movement, freedom & the pursuit of knowledge … what is the woman in the mural reading? where is she going? how did she arrive in this place?

 

This brilliant work of street art helped to kick off the ‘Students Build Cities’ program, a collaboration between the team at ‘young & free press’ and the Thames Valley District School Board.
