The City of Edmonton’s Downtown Revitalization team commissioned art consultant Susan Pointe to create an interactive art walk tour of public art in Summer 2015. Pointe was able to use the consolidated list of public art generated by the #OpenArtYEG project as an input to picking a representative group for the Jasper Avenue Public art tour. David Rauch created a mobile-friendly website, artwalkyeg.ca, using WordPress and a widget, Master Slider, to create a tour tool that allows walkers to swipe along a curated walk around the downtown. Google’s My Maps tool also aided in creating a Google Maps-friendly tour that gives real-time feedback of the walker’s location using the GPS enabled in most smartphones.
