The Downtown BIA is proudly partnering with the City of Ottawa to transform historic Sparks Street with Canadiana Block, a new pavement art installation that celebrates Canada’s creative spirit.

Thirteen dedicated concrete panels, on Sparks Street between Lyon and Kent, will each represent one of Canada’s 10 provinces and 3 territories, forming a vibrant tapestry of national culture and identity.

​

We’re inviting professional artists and artist collectives with experience in public or street art to bring this vision to life.
