Red Pepper is the first arts organization to facilitate large-scale mosaic projects with and for Toronto communities and has been doing so across the city since 2001. We have partnered with several agencies including ArtStarts and Action for Neighbourhood Change, Jumblies Theatre and Davenport Perth Neighbourhood Centre, York Community Services, Project Random, Native Men’s Residence, St. Stephen’s Community House and York Community Services to deliver these beautiful time and labour-intensive community projects.
This section is in progress so please visit again for more information, images and project descriptions.
