The Creative Spark - City of Vaughan Youth Arts Week Logo The City of Vaughan’s version of the National Youth Arts Week logo is called ‘The Creative Spark’. It represents the moments of creative inspiration from networking amongst people and sharing ideas. When the synapses in the brain ‘spark’, you get that explosive feeling and energy. Creative individuals spend every day working to achieve those moments and connections within themselves and with others around them.
