Celebrating the Colours of Collaboration: Villages of Scugog Mural Marathon

Thank You for Being Part of the Mural Marathon

From July 10th to 13th, the parking lot beside Scugog Arts was filled with colour, connection, and creativity during the Villages of Scugog: Mural Marathon — and it wouldn’t have been possible without you.

Over four days, participants came together to paint five mural panels, each representing the rich culture, landscapes, and history of Scugog’s villages — from Seagrave to Scugog Island.

Whether you painted, volunteered, donated, or simply stopped by to show support, you helped bring this community art project to life.

Thank You to Everyone Who Got Involved

To the many painters — some picking up a brush for the first time — thank you for jumping in and helping shape this collective vision. Your time, focus, and enthusiasm made the experience meaningful for everyone involved.

To our volunteers and supporters, your behind-the-scenes dedication kept the momentum going and created a welcoming space for participants and visitors alike.

To our donors, your contributions directly supported this project and the wider mission of Scugog Arts. Your generosity fuels future creative opportunities across our community.

A Celebration of Community Through Art

What made the Mural Marathon so special was the way it brought people together. Participants of all skill levels, painted side by side, each adding their mark to something bigger than any one person.

Together, we created murals that reflect the character and diversity of Scugog’s villages, and built lasting connections in the process.

What’s Next?

The mural panels will soon be installed on the side of our new home in Downtown Port Perry. This installation will bring the artwork into public view — a lasting tribute to the creativity and collaboration that shaped it.

Stay tuned for updates on the unveiling, and be sure to visit once the panels are in place. It’s a wonderful way to see what we built together.

If you captured photos or video during your visit, tag us @ScugogArts and use #MuralMarathon — we’d love to see and share your perspective.

Thank you again to everyone who painted, supported, and showed up for the Villages of Scugog: Mural Marathon. We’re proud to be building a more vibrant, creative Scugog — with you.
