Frannie Potts is a Toronto-based artist, muralist and workshop facilitator with over a decade of experience. She believes that art-making should be accessible to everyone, and strives to make this a reality in her home community of Scarborough. This led her to become the cofounder of Scarbrite, a grassroots community arts organization whose goal is to brighten the streets of Scarborough through co-creating works of art. Frannie has also made her mark in the arts community through her work with numerous organizations, including StreetARToronto, Scarborough Arts, Mural Routes, Urban Arts, VIBE Arts and more. Her work has been featured on CP24, The York Guardian, and Toronto.com.
