About us:

Splash on Earth is an award winning Toronto based nonprofit recognized for its creativity and joyful environmental events that bring communities together. We transform food waste into an innovative eco-paint, and use it to create large colorful murals in parks and community spaces, inviting residents to tell their stories through art.
