The community has expressed curiosity, excitement and welcomed the murals, as one of the first temporary public art projects in the Cooksville neighbourhood this year. In 2021, Cooksville was identified as one of Mississauga’s Cultural Districts, along with five other neighbourhoods where there will be a strategic focus on arts and cultural development.
