MEDIA RELEASE
Introducing “Accent! Downtown Moncton Centre-ville”
by Downtown Moncton Centre-ville Inc.
Downtown Moncton – Tuesday, July 30th, 2024
Downtown Moncton Centre-ville Inc. (DMCI) is thrilled to unveil “Accent! Downtown Moncton Centre-ville,” a new initiative designed to ignite creativity, foster community spirit, and bring energy to the heart of Downtown Moncton.
This latest addition to our programs is aimed at beautifying our downtown and weaving art into the daily lives of locals and visitors alike.
Launching today, our debut project is a Window Mural Series to highlight local community members and their artwork. We will brighten up our downtown displays by animating windows and storefronts that are currently underutilized or under construction, while providing more reasons for everyone to explore the space.
The program is aptly named “Accent!” to signify highlighting with a distinctive emphasis our downtown area.
Submissions are now open for the Window Mural Series through the DMCI website. Children, youth, and community members of all-ages may submit artwork to be digitally reproduced as a printed window wrap. For more information on the submission specifications, selection process, and timelines, please visit https://downtownmoncton.com/programs/accent/.
DMCI is proud to work with Kathryn Basham, owner and curator of Bright & Brine Fine Art Gallery, to lead this new programming. Downtown Moncton property owners interested in participating in the program may reach out to kathryn@brightbrine.ca. DMCI also wishes to acknowledge and thank the City of Moncton and INCOLOR Inc. for their partnership with this project.
