Students’ artwork will once again adorn downtown windows, lobbies and storefronts from April 1, 2010 until the middle of June. Locations are mainly along Portage Avenue from Spence to Main streets and seen from the street or in the indoor walkway system. Site locations include Investors Group’s foyer, the Canadian Western Bank and Don’s Photo, as well as indoor spaces like IMAX Theatre, the MTS Centre foyer and the Portage & Main Concourse.  

New this year, students are invited to participate in a downtown essay contest for the chance to be published and win a brand new iPod. Open to all students grade K-12.
 
Young Artists on the Avenue, one of the Downtown BIZ’s longest running programs, helps to increase public awareness of Manitoba’s artistic talent and to beautify our downtown streets.
