The Downtown Kitchener BIA produces an outdoor gallery of artworks on building exteriors, curated by Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery. The BIA celebrates these artworks and many murals it has paid artists to create in the core by publishing a DTK art walk guidebook. The guide also features our public art collection in downtown spaces.
