We are pleased to share The Countdown Public Art Project 2020-2023 Evaluation Report which spans community-engaged arts and gender justice advocacy in Almonte, Bancroft, Barry’s Bay, Combermere, Killaloe, and Smiths Falls, Ontario.
"The memory I have is a wish that I had for all as I stood under blue sky in the high energy location of Lookout Park - that all could feel as free and unburdened as I did while standing in the company of community."
Community Contributor, Hastings Highlands (Combermere, 2022)

The Countdown Public Art Project is an Ontario-wide arts initiative that works with communities to create monuments in public spaces to honour those affected by gender-based violence and to imagine, or count down to, a world without gender-based violence.
This work would not have been possible without funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (Grow Grant) for the Countdown Public Art Project from 2020 - 2023.
