Help Select Indigenous Public Art Piece

Public art inspires creativity and fosters a sense of local pride. A public art piece at the future Whitby Sports Complex will help to animate the space for the enjoyment of all residents and visitors.

The Town has partnered with STEPS Public Art to commission an Indigenous art installation at the future Whitby Sports Complex. This initiative builds on our commitment to raising awareness of Indigenous cultures, peoples, and heritages.

After a call for artists late last year by STEPS Public Art, three art proposals have been selected and shortlisted for community feedback.

Have Your Say

Don’t miss this opportunity to shape community-centred artwork. Now through Thursday, September 5, visit stepspublicart.org/whitbypublicart to complete a short survey on each of the following shortlisted artist proposals:

• A Place of Dreams by David General
• Niisaajwan by Tessa Shank
• We Come from the Stars - Anangoong Nidonjibaamin by Kathryn Corbiere

A photo, short description, and video are available for each.

Next Steps

Feedback collected will help inform the art Selection Panel’s final decision on which art installation will make its home at the future Whitby Sports Complex.
