This document summarizes the first year of a neighborhood identity project in Mississauga that featured box and banner art installations at intersections across 11 wards. For each ward, it provides the location of the installation, the artist, the medium used (usually acrylic paint or a digital wrap) and notes on the design's inspiration drawn from the local area's history. It concludes by advertising a Renaissance Masquerade Ball fundraiser for the Mississauga Arts Council to celebrate the city's cultural renaissance.
