About the project - The Town of Stony Plain is working to re-imagine the original 2013 Project of Heart Mural that was located at the Stony Plain Youth Centre. This Mural was removed in 2025 due to weather decay. Our goal is to gather youth/participant perspectives, stories, values, and themes that can help shape the direction of the final artwork in a respectful and culturally appropriate way. This information will then be shared with the artist who will be creating an Indigenous themed art piece inspired by the original 2013 Project of Heart. 

Participants can choose to talk, draw, write, bead, symbol build, or simply listen as we connect.

 

All youth ages 11-17 welcome to listen, learn, and create. Dinner will be provided.
