In the heart of downtown Mesa, the Interactive Canvas Project will engage the public to dream, design and discover their artistic spirit within the community. The public passing by the Mesa Arts Center on Main Street will be able to interact with a blank canvas. Share a portrait photograph with friends and family, a selfie, a painting, a digital graphic, or a poem.
