Origin
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.
The first set of applications was approved by Toronto City Council at its meeting of June 6 and 7, 2012. This report now recommends approval of the second set of 8 applications valued at $99,560.00 in the Partnership category. With the projects recommended in this report, 23 projects in 16 wards would be funded for a total value of $324,917.00. StART is an integral part of the Graffiti Management Plan and staff will report on its status in the fourth quarter of 2012.
