Origin

(May 9, 2012) Report from the Acting General Manager, Transportation Services

Summary

StreetARToronto (StART) is a new public/private partnership program that is a central feature of Council's new Graffiti Management Plan. The Plan encompasses a proactive approach to eliminating graffiti vandalism, while supporting street art that adds vibrancy and visual interest to city streets. StART funding is provided through the former Community Partnership and Investment Program (CPIP) and builds on the approach of the Graffiti Transformation Program.

 

Two programs have been developed under the StART umbrella. The StART Partnership program provides up to $20,000.00 per application in funding for non-profit arts organizations to create street art. The StART Diversion and Education program provides up to $20,000.00 per application in funding for programs that engage at-risk youth who have been arrested for graffiti vandalism and diverted through the court system. The parameters for these programs were established by Council in the Graffiti Management Plan.

 

This report recommends funding for 15 community-based groups in the above-noted categories. To accommodate applicants to the new enhanced program, a second round of applications is being undertaken, and a second list of recommended projects will be submitted to the June 28 meeting of Licensing and Standards Committee. StART is an integral part of the Graffiti Management Plan, and staff will report on its status in the fourth quarter of 2012.
