A group of artists living and working in the area of 118 Avenue received a cheque for more than $20,000 from Mayor Stephen Mandel on Saturday to help revitalize the area.
The artists are all part of ‘Arts on the Ave’ a group dedicated to beautifying the area by creating different pieces of art along 118 Avenue.
Mayor Mandel believes the group has the ability to transform the area.
“Creativity is one of the fundamental ways to do it and the arts are that creative base. I think if we learn to respect and understand it more we’ll see what a great tool it is,” said Mandel.
The money was raised through the Mayor’s Celebration of the Arts 2008 fundraiser.
