TRUE Kingsville is excited to announce the completion of their first project, “The Kingsville Art Installation.”

This project is the result of a grant received through the Tourism Relief Fund financed by Fed Dev Ontario and facilitated by Ontario Southwest Tourism.

TRUE Kingsville partnered with the Arts Society of Kingsville (ASK) who commissioned 11 Local Artists to portray the pillars of Kingsville Tourism.

They tell the story of our town’s rich history and unique attractions resulting in an engaging and dynamic public Art Gallery.

As part of the project, Arts Society of Kingsville has also created the Kingsville Art Walk guide.

Both digital and printed versions will guide residents and visitors alike on a Cultural Adventure discovering Kingsville’s story told through Art.

      Hi Michelle

      I’m not aware of a website for TRUE Kingsville. But you can contact the Arts Society of Kingsville at info@artssocietyofkingsville.ca for more information.

      Thanks!

    • Michelle TRUE Kingsville does NOT have a website of their own as the mission is to partner with existing groups & businesses in town that are already doing amazing work. Our hope is to assist these communicate groups to bring projects to fruitionsuch as ASK & the Art Project & the KBIA & the downtown sound system.
