O+ has provided many early-career artists with their first wall, which has fostered growth in their practice and careers. O+ mural artists receive health and wellness care, including primary care, integrative medicine and massage therapy in our Artists’ Clinic, as well as in-office dentistry and optometry in exchange for their work making Kingston more beautiful and diverse.  

O+ murals tell stories from diverse perspectives while challenging oppressive power structures and expanding our perceptions of who is historically permitted to occupy space, to be seen and to be celebrated. We believe that art is medicine, and that encountering art in public spaces provides equitable access to the arts that brings joy, conversation, growth and critical engagement.
