In 2025, we launched a vibrant, community‑built installation as part of Art in My Garden—a new way to include the wider community both before and during the event.

‘Hanging in Harmony’ was a visual expression of perspectives—woven with belonging, rooted in community. 250 individual artworks were created and displayed in the gardens of the Oakville Museum reflecting the spirit of Art In My Garden.
